Something at one degree is neutral but taken to an extreme is evil....  I am important ... I am so important I am willing to do supremely heinous things for the things I need. Every action takes in to account the needs of the self, every human choice is affected by it. I object to calling that evil.. it undermines "evil" as a categorization it amounts to a blanket condemnation of the neutrality of basic human needs.  see the following quote... which I was objecting to with regards to minor evilsAnd irrationality as a minor evil????? that often results in good behavior.. just not coherent behavior.You referred to evil instincts? Can you name a common one? that isn't just neutral unless pushed to an extreme.</blockquote>
