what is the general definition/idea of an evil person?

we all have a different perspective of what makes an evil person, so my idea of an evil bastard is that they take pleasure in the suffering of others, they're a narcissistic douche, and they want to see others fail. I hate those type of people with mottos like: "IT'S NOT ENOUGH THAT I SUCCEED, OTHERS MUST FAIL"

which brings me to my next question, does it make us evil to want to see evil people fail in trying to bring us down? does it make us evil to enjoy seeing them suffer as we live happily with our lives while karma bites them in ass and delivers it's own justice? if it does, maybe i'm evil myself, which makes this statement all ironically hypocritical?

i think u nailed it, usually people who want something to suffer. narcissism is another good trait as they tend to lack empathy and mostly look towards themselves.

@quinnVneck well that depends, no one is calling for the death penalty for every evil deed.

@undetermined well the law doesn't have to do the death penalty. it's people who support the 2nd amendment rights who sometimes give the death penalty, especially towards those who threaten to take their lives and the lives of their love ones.

"try to take my life and you already forfeit your own" - a quote from somebody in YouTube comments. in a video about people having to kill in self defense, reddit stories

@quinnVneck well in that instance, would you rather shoot someone and it may kill them or have them kill you or someone you know?

in general many would say
that which deliberately harms others is evil.
I am really fond of the idea of consent. way past sexuality
for me? anything non-consensual is wrong, thus evil

@SW-User most humanists would throw humanitarianism out the window when it comes to serial killers and murderers in general. they'd want to see them die in the hands of justice rather than see them behind bars. maybe it's humanitarian to give them a swift end than to let them rot in prison.

aren't we all?

(AV asked us to remember that "evil" spelled backwards is "live")

@CBarson We are all imperfect... But people can either love or they can hate their own imperfections..

@CBarson i think a scarier thing is forced authoritarianism and totalitarianism where everyone is forced to be perfect. and that's the worst thing a government can ever do. sacrificing our individuality and our flaws, the very things that makes us who we are, in favor of "perfection" is truly disgusting.

speaking of which. people define bad or evil as someone who isn't Obedient "Little Angel" yeah being obedient isn't being good.

Enjoying the fact that a piece of shit gets what they deserve isn't evil.
