    yes, becoz it exists in me and unacceptable to me and anxiety generating to me, i project it on others and complain that so and so is like this or that! this is one of the defence mechanisms of our mind to overcome anxiety. but it should be dealt with, confonted and resolved than to continue this kind of a maladaptive behaviour.

    Yes. Evil exists within everyone whether they wish to admit it or not. People complain when they see the darker side in others, but they never really stop to realize that there is darkness within them as well. Evil may seem more evident in certain individuals because they show it more, however everyone has some evil in them. No one in the world can say that they are all good, that they have never done something wrong and if they did it would most certainly be a lie.

  • perhaps the capacity for evil exists in all of us. But I do not subscribe to the idea that if you see something in others it must be in the you too. I can note that a person is a psychopath but it doesn't make me one too.

    well, define "evil", "other", "properly" and "exist", and you can have all kinds of fun with that.

    i'm not sure i believe in evil, though i probably use the word. i try descriptive terms instead of blanket value judgements, because being simple is not very simple.
