Making Sense of Evil (Virginia Tech Massacre)

IF that were the case, I don't think human children would last very long seeing as no one would care for them. You have to admit that caring for children takes A LOT of self sacrifice. Sure, there are evil people out there, but to say that people are pre-destined to be evil (in the sense you mentioned) doesn't seem to add up. At least not to me, anyways.Secondly, I can't even agree that those are actually evil qualities. I don't tend to think of someone who is greedy as being evil, I don't tend to think of someone who is selfish as evil. Nor do I think of someone who is uncaring as evil. Perhaps some more hardcore offshoots of those qualities, yes. But by themselves evil? Na, I don't think so. I believe that people are generally "meh" about the whole thing: neither good nor evil.

When I said what?

selfish, greedy, or uncaring

Those are harsh terms?

Neither myself or Phat has done as such. He was using those terms to define evil for his statement that people are inherently good and evil.

Ok, I gotcha now.
