It depends on your religion or culture. Evil is a very subjective term, so it actually depends on a vast number of variables, although most are related to perception. The fact is that there are more than 7 billion people on the planet. Every individual alive, every one who has ever lived or ever will live have one thing in common; to some degree they are all egocentric. It is the degree of this egocentricity and how it is demonstrated that determines whether the majority of others who observe it agree whether the demonstration is evil or not. Nailing down the origin of all evil in society is going to be much more markedly difficult.

How did evil get into the world?

Once sentience is achieved human kind has always sought after more than their meager existence allowed, greed for material wealth and by extension power. Evil is in this world because some men forsake their humanity and become monsters, all for the sake of wealth and power. There are also lesser evils, like murderers and thieves, these people often have mental illnesses, were abused as a child or had some sort of traumatic experience, either that or they were simply born in an environment that promotes evil. Evil births evil, as does good births good.


If somebody who is honorable does something that is evil do you view that person as still good or now evil?

well, everyone does evil in their lifetime--it's in our nature. A person can be a good person because you trust them, they are virtuous, haven't gone to jail, you know, just a good dude. But that good dude can mess up, he can get really angry, and do something he'll regret later. A big difference between good and evil people is that good people have a conscience, and regret the bad things they did. Evil people do bad things to others because they enjoy it, and don't regret it later.

Perhaps, though, some people with religious beliefs might think again before committin evil.
