Is pure evil real or is it just subjective?

[Takes Two To Tango]

I mean were all connected if we go deep inside what we're all made out of, were all just space dusts.

We're all capable of doing heinous things. Just look how we butcher animals in the slaughterhouse.

And killing of highly intelligent animals like pigs. I think evil is subjective depending how the tribe looks at it.

If it's acceptable to the tribe it's not evil, but something that's worthwhile or beneficial to the collective.

Does animals actions like predators make them evil? Or is that just nature being nature?

So in a sense violent actions that humans do are simply nature being nature?

No animals act on instinct for the most part. Maybe thats not fully true for apes but we as humans have a choice. Some more than others.

Interesting explanation, thanks.

It's very real. Some people take pleasure in creating suffering so it can't always be subjective.

I think that things like torture and kidnapping are worse than killing and we know these things happen. That's why if somebody has a gun over my head and wants to rob me that's fine but if that person wants to take me somewhere else that's not happening and you would have to kill me

Someone keeps posting pictures of ugly women in OT. Pure evil is real.

Of all the possible acts of evil humans do, the best you could come up with was killing animals for food?

 

[Slobodan]

If you've seen some of the stuff @lsa has done then you would believe in pure evil.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

It's subjective. Obviously the vast majority of people would say Hitler was evil but I don't think you can really say it's an objective fact.

I regret nothing

Well there are obvious ones, like killing other humans. For whatever reasons yes. But I just wanted to add that's all. No big deal.

@helax he admitted it!

.....bottom line is, for you and I to enjoy the cushy lives we do countless animals (and other humans) have and will continue to suffer and die on a daily basis.

Most of us are blindly ignorant to the fact, or at least pretend to be.

Don't really think that makes us evil. It's survival of the fittest and our species is exceptionally good at it.

It's not like pointlessly torturing children for kicks though, is it.

I'm not saying were evil or not. To me it's all subjective POV. I think we actually excessively have too much food, just look at all the obese people out there. We're not eating survive at this point, well for most of us who live cushy lives that you say are the ones who excessively indulging in things.

As for comparing killing of animals or torturing babies. That's like comparing apples to oranges.

Not just food though is it......clothes you wear, city you live in, technology you use everyday, car you drive etc etc. Something or someone has suffered to supply almost every single thing we use every day.

That was the point yes, what you cited as evil (killing animals for food) is objectionably not in the same stratosphere as real evil. More like comparing apples to the moon.

Yes we overindulge in a lot of things indeed, especially in the developed countries. I never said killing of animals for food is evil per se, especially if it's necessary. But how we treat these animals in slaughterhouses is pretty bad imo.

But yeah obviously rape/torture and killing of women and babies is different stratosphere yes.

If you'd met some evil people you probably wouldn't ask lol. They're real and they're fucking terrifying. That being said, a lot of what we think of as Evil with a capital E is just mental illness, often exacerbated by trauma. That makes people uncomfortable, because they want things to have a purpose.

 

[Natural Order]

Evil implies a story of heaven and hell.

It’s tough to fathom without a fable.

 

[I Am Legion]

There is evil. There are people that get off on torturing others. That is evil. Everyone can have an evil thought. But to act on it makes one truly evil. A tribe accepting the evil act doesn't make it not evil, it just makes the tribe morally deplorable.

Yes but if an action, like eating a pig, was pure evil, it would be evil whether we did it in our age, or we were hunting for sustenance with no other choice, to survive.
