Evil

“I think evil has agents,” Jenine said. “I think we allow evil to use us. It doesn’t care if we know what we’re doing is evil or not. After we’ve done its will, if we feel guilty, it can use that to condemn us in our own eyes. If we feel good, it can immediately use us for its next objective.”

How do we define evil? Is it sentient? It is a poison that is like a drug, giving hallucinations of grandeur or a nightmare of death. No one talks of evil with any true conviction. No true hate of it or even acknowledgment of it. It is like a resigned sigh from lips....."ah, yeah evil is bad, but it is what it is." there is no real understanding. I don't understand it. No it just seems, acceptance of evil is just, "evil is bad" " it feels icky"
No it really doesn't. Evil can make one feel more alive than anything. The agent of agent of evil is not a simple, "oh golly gee, I messed up and now I feel bad" no, it is more confusing.
It isn't evil cause it feel bad(yes evil can feel bad) but it is evil because it is. No matter how it feels or such, it is evil because it is. Yet how do we decipher what evil is? In some countries and times, women were for child bearing and boys were for "fun" (roman period). Or tribes where nudity is pnothing, yet other areas it is frowned upon. Murder not being the same as killing. Subtle differences, yet that is what makes the biggest change. To some. Marriage is nothing more than a word, divorce like a fall back option for whatever reason. Or stepping over people, nothing more than a ladder to true power which of course (sarcasm) is what it's all about. What pis evil, who decides what it is, and do you see how fluid it can become..... How much like a chameleon it can't be?
