What is the nature of evil?

Much like the nature of good, evil can be many different things depending on the perspective of the person(s) whom are being the judge. There is no true definition of evil, but it is understood that evil is the opposite of good. It is generally related to mental and/or physical harm. For example, crimes are concidered evil, but depending on the crime some are a greater evil than others. Murder would be more serious than petty theft, and therefore would be the greater evil. These would be universal evils, though evil is widely concidered a subjective truth.

  1. "who are being judged"

    This is a very minimal entry as are the other two.

    From what I have seen in class, you are capable of doing a better job than what you are displaying on this blog.

  2. I agree with your point but if you used a specific example with how some crimes are considered as evil and compared how some are "greater" evil than others. Besides that, awesome!
