Evil

Evil refers to actions, intentions, or forces that cause harm, suffering, or moral wrongs. It often involves intentionality to inflict pain, injustice, or destruction, contrasting with good, which promotes well-being and fairness. Philosophically and culturally, evil can be seen as a deviation from moral or ethical standards, representing selfishness, cruelty, or malevolence. While interpretations vary, evil generally denotes something profoundly negative that challenges our understanding of morality and human behavior, prompting us to reflect on the nature of morality, free will, and the capacity for both goodness and harm within individuals and societies.
