RE: Knowledge is Power (5) - What is Ethics?
I don't think there is one single definition of evil. I agree with you, it is a concept based on cultural norms. For me it is the opposite of good. :)

I think evil has a lot to do with intention rather than action. For that reason, I believe there are very few evil people in the world. Maybe I'm too trusting, but I think that the majority of people do whatever it is they are doing because they believe in it. They believe it will be good on some level.
I just can't (won't?) accept that most people would do terrible things just to be terrible. Then again, there is an entire internet of trolls waiting to prove me wrong. :-/
For sure @mattifer. I am a trusting person too, and I am shocked when I see people doing terrible things just to be terrible.
