Evil

[Zarathustra]

I doubt you really wondered all of that.  Your first clause alone lets me think that you havent considered this deeply.

Somebody needs a pint of Guinness, or whatever your poison may be.

Anyway, I think the largest complication in trying to draw lines between "Good" and "Evil" are the subjective natures of the two. A good guideline is the motivation behind actions, since actions in and of themselves often blur the lines. I like Kant's system for ethics except for the way that it devalues anyone that is unable to make an autonomous choice; it's that pesky humanity that keeps jumping in there on me. I really need to see to getting it removed. In any case, I tend to classify "evil" as selfishness to the point of disregard for others. Seems to be a good enough guideline for me.

I'm avoiding the question of whether evil "exists" alltogether. ;)
