It's a quote from someone I recently had a discussion with. Apparently, according to this person, the concepts of good and evil have no basis, no foundation in objective reality (moral relativism). I don't agree, I think that's absurd and so obviously wrong that I can't believe that anyone could ever truly, and consistently, live by this rule.

Evil = Hurting other people

@Jexie So it's okay to be violent and destructive to everything else (like the Earth itself and the life upon it) then, as long as people aren't in any way hurt.
What about those who enjoy sado-masochism?

@Bel6EQUJ5 All life but humans are most important. As for your second question, you answered it yourself, they enjoy it so that's not really hurting them. Evil is basically when you have ill intentions for doing something.
