I have not been to many forums where this sort of discussion could go on and not have some sort of childish attitude or flaming. Brings a tear to my eye... *SNIFFLE*Now as for the topic.... What a difficult question. I would have to agree with those who have thus far stated that evil is any act that you commit that you know would bring harm or suffering to another. The "sacrifice of 10 children to save a thousand" is, in the words of Sir Authur Conan Doyle, "a choice of evils". Even now, thinking about this, my answer is inadequate. It fails to address any number of situations that come to mind. I suppose that in the end there is no good answer to this question. Evil is as we, as individuals, see it. Many in the middle east are willing suicide bombers, yet if asked they would scoff at the notion that they are evil, rather some sort of noble hero or martyr. Still, it is a fascinating discussion.
