Limiting the conversation of evil as it is defined by human morality, let me think about the scenario where I live in a country that is protected because of its intimidating army.

I don’t think defense would be considered evil, but unprovoked aggression would. The benefit is that other regions think harder before they fuq with us, but is this necessary? It’s necessary in a prison logic sort of way. Doing evil because these bitches be eviling out here. Pre-eviling to avoid unprovoked evil too.

If no evil existed, then all these defenses would not be needed. But, I think the impetus for evil stems from natural human feelings/perspectives such as fear of the unknown, attaining the testosterone hits of dominance, etc, A notable thing is that our empathy has what I believe are purposeful limits, because we can’t function if we feel deeply for everything on this planet. I’ve felt completely debilitated just thinking intimately about random sufferings, or the possibility of suffering. There is a health benefit to having limited empathy, making it easy for me to see why biology went as far as making some of us born without it.

So 2 things - Evil begets evil, and human nature begets evil. Even if a society was peaceful, it only takes 1 asshole to screw it all up. So at minimum, reactive evil seems necessary. The ingredients that make up a human inevitably leads to evil as well. So, evil on its own may be necessary if humans are to exist, because the ingredients that inevitably lead to its creation is the condition of our existence. And if we don’t exist, then this definition we hold for evil will not be acknowledged.

Okay. Let me try to explain. Universal evil is absolute. Relative evil depends on a matrix of situations. My own moral theory is that if we make a morality it is an act of mastery, if it works. Insight building activity. Comparatives. If, then. If and if then. Etc.

Every person is a person, and you can acknowledge that in your thoughts, values, and behaviors, and you never have to fail to acknowledge it, so evil is not necessary… just possibility.
