On the Nature of Evil

Evil occurs when people forget they are human.

Humanity is a psychological construct that differentiates us from the jackals.

We make ourselves humane.

People are not intrinsically evil, no matter what the experts and pundits and clergy say.

Even Bu$hCo is not so.

But there is a point in every person's development whether they choose to adopt the mindset of humane behavior.

I submit that Evil is a result of a lack of humane empathy.

Whether Evil is due to nature or nurture or both depends on the world the person makes, and the person the world makes.
