'To Entrust Is Sometimes To Abandon'

Evil can be categorized into two forms, moral evil and natural evil. Moral evil is brought about by bad choices that stem from our free will. Natural evil is bad things that happen to people, whether they deserve them or not. The problem with evil is,

Evil people are found throughout the entire world. Young or old, small or large, evil people exist all around the world. Rather hurting other people or animals, these acts are inhumane and abnormal. Any act of violence is wrong, but actually harming or killing other people or animals is over the line. Evil has been studied for thousands of years, and the root question is always, is evil born or made? Children can be completely normal and be a great child, and as they reach middle adulthood they could fall off the deep end.

First of all, evil is something influenced upon because some people have a very hard life. They struggle to communicate with others and see how other people feel. For example, according to Source B, it states, “They can’t sense other people’s emotions or their suffering can’t see the world from other people’s perspective, have no sense of their rights. Other human beings are just objects to them, which is what makes their brutality and cruelty possible.” The people that commit these horrific acts aren’t able to

People can experience evil without becoming evil by ignoring it, not caring what others think about them and overcoming evil with good. There is a lot of evil in the world and people have to do the best they can to experience evil without becoming evil.

Evil is the act of intentionally effecting another person's life negatively. I have come to this conclusion in my life because I feel the bad in my life that is the most difficult to recover from is the kind caused by humans. We can not control natural disasters or diseases for the most part, they are inevitable. These may devastate people's lives, but it is all simply the order of nature. Humans though, can control their actions. When they hurt, they choose to do so. Their evil acts are never inevitable or natural they are malicious and horrible.

I think that humans learn to be evil. Small, cute babies that come out of the womb, are completely innocent. They have not yet had a gruesome thought or selfish action, they are simply born as neutral. Over the course of time they begin to develop characters. Their personalities are created based on the environment they function in. Their actions reflect their experiences. If someone live in an abusive house, since they are not familiar with any other type of life, they will most likely act similar to the way their dominant acts at home. Bullies at school regard others with cruelty because they might get treated the same way in their house. Another example is that a “friend” can persuade or pressure someone into beginning a new, bad behavior such as taking drugs, drinking excessive amount of alcohol, or having suicidal thoughts.

Evil is in the eye of the beholder. Just like how evil is possible in places or people even when they seem incapable to do so. The short story “ The Possibility of evil” by Shiley Jackson is about a woman struggling to find a sense of belonging and value in a growing and changing town. Shirley Jackson asserts that while people strive to be good they are prone to have a misconception on what is right and wrong or behave in evil ways when feeling vulnerable and unvalued which perpetrates a cycle of evil.

There are many different theories on evil. Many philosophers have debated for countless hours over the topic of evil. Sigmund Freud, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Friedrich Nietzsche were all great philosophers who had many theories on where evil came from and what evil really is. Using their concepts and ideas, the topic of evil seems more understandable. However, the topic of evil’s exact definition and source are still heavily debated and considered a very controversial topic.

Humans can be evil - history has shown this time and time again. This is obvious in The Woman Who Fell From the Sky, when the Right Hand Brother, who was considered to represent ‘good’, being described as, “always truthful, reasonable, good-hearted, and straight-arrow”, murdered his own brother. Despite

Evil can come in many different forms. Desmond Tutu claims this to be as he once said, “When people think of the sort of things that happen when genocide happens, it's again not people who are intrinsically evil.” This quote by Desmond Tutu is a definition of evil because not everybody was born being evil it depends on a persons real nature. When many people think of evil they think of the people that they do not like or do not care for. Without people being evil are world would not be as it is today because we have overcame many of those challenges that it has brought to us. Even though the Holocaust was horrible, people may debate that the Darfur Genocide was worse.

When a character is portrayed as “evil” the person is not evil just for the hell of it, they are persuaded by events or actions done to them that therefore leads to evilness. Nobody in history has just been evil.. There are many reasons a person is the way they are. When life begins a baby does not automatically seem evil. No trait or characteristic of a baby determines their identity and role in society. Children have no real sense of the world around them. In order for a child to grow and come to realize what is going on, they are usually taught a certain way to live, or rather not taught the correct way to live. Children base their future in life on the way they were brought up. When people experience things in life, they learn to live with it or lash out with vindictive actions or thoughts. Many people in history or stories, have a certain background in life that leads them on the path to evilness. “We are all good, but corrupted by society: (Jean- Jacques Rousseau). This theory is defined rule, which has preceded throughout history.

Evil resides in every human. It is buried deep within all people. Some would say the root of all evil began in the Garden of Eden when Adam and Eve ate forbidden fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Their act of evil doomed the following generations by passing it on. To keep us from going totally savage and civilized, society created rules to follow.

Good people will always do or think of something evil and vice versa. Everybody is predigest somehow. May it be because of color, weight, beauty, likes, dislikes, and so much more. That is the evil inside. That is everybodys evil.

Good and evil are in a constant battle between each where ever good exist there is evil right behind it. Evil has been around science the beginning of time, like shadow with light there is evil with good. In both The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde and Lord of the Flies by William Golding someone is becoming evil. Everyone possess the ability to be both good and evil but the emotion that surfaces depends on the situations people are placed in. Stressful situations are one-way people become evil.
