Zorra's JournalEvil may be relative to individual beliefs and social constructs, and, who knows? Maybe even
natural/universal law, with respect to human beings, and possibly other beings who have the innate, conscious abilities to be empathic and altruistic. I don't know;, does anyone really know?
I have my own personal beliefs, my own morality/code of ethics, which I rearrange as personal "truth" is gathered. So far, what I have come up with in my journey is to consciously do my best to treat others like I want to be treated, and try to never consciously do harm, to the best of my (obviously) limited abilities, while trying to analyze the motivations behind my thoughts and behavior in order to try to not bullshit myself.
It appears to me that many genuine, sincere progressives/liberals have, to some degree, a similar view of existence, and, in this spirit, we determine, through reason, individually and collectively, what appears to us to be "evil". Based on this evolving determination of our collective value system, we join together, and take measures to prevent those who demonstrably do not share our collective beliefs from harming others, within the most liberal sphere of non-destructive individual action possible.
It appears to me that all human behavior is driven by the desire for some type of reward. If our primary value is the most satisfactory existence for ourselves and everyone else, we work toward manifesting this type of world for ourselves.
What we value most will generally be what we sincerely desire and pursue in our lives; and attaining this reward will most often be our primary focus.
Just my 2 cents worth, based on very limited information.
That sort of thing gets done all the time here by a certain group of posters.
This place is crawling with Third Way/MIC trolls, who work as a team to tirelessly defend the interests of worldwide fascist oligarchy. After you are here for awhile they will become obvious because of their constant MIC propaganda BS. They constantly support wealthy private interest sponsored conservative, anti-democratic, corporate government favorable positions.
If you plan on posting on DU consistently, I suggest becoming a member and using the ignore button. The ignore button allows you to hide content from all the paid corporatist trolls, who, again, become easily recognizable in a relatively short period of time. And there are a quite a few of them posting here, which is to be expected on an internet forum comprised mainly of progressive Democrats.
This makes DU a much more pleasurable and valuable experience. You won't have to contend with corporatist propagandists who are paid to convince the naive and "not too bright" among us of the unquestionable righteousness of the corporate agenda to end any semblance of self-governance, environmental protections, and overall freedom for the overwhelming majority of the people on the planet.
Welcome to DU!
