Evil can be very tricky to define. Some say that we are driven to evil, others maintain that we are born with an inherent amount of evil though the degree may vary from person to person. I think it's a bit of both. However, that doesn't really answer the question. So I'll tell you what *I* think evil is: evil is the abandonment of the human spirit and the willful reversion to the subhuman or animal state of consciousness, wherein all the moral constraints of human society are cast aside. This may manifest itself in a variety of ways; taking what does not belong to you, despite the fact that you have no real need for it. Coveting what is not yours is another example. Killing without just cause (a life is in jeopardy), ****, assault, cheating on your mate, gluttony...whatever goes against the moral code of the society you live in. The list can go on and on.
