)
November 12th, 2009
For the purposes of this discussion, let’s start with a few choice examples:
Evil 1: A beautiful outdoor wedding is torn up and thrown about by a F3 tornado. The bride ends up needing stitches and the mother of the groom has her foot crushed beyond medical repair.
Evil 2: A group of 13 year old boys light fire to a dumpster. The fire spreads to a nearby fence and eventually burns down a house putting the owner of the house in the hospital and causing $100,000 in damage.
Evil 3: A man plots for several weeks and eventually carries out his plan to arm himself and infiltrate a University campus. 15 die, 43 wounded. Gun man kills himself in the end.

Is “evil” manifested in any of these cases? Where?
What is evil exactly? How is it best defined?
Is there a common characteristic that manifests in every instance of evil?
