What is "evil?"

[PearlSeeker]

Depending on your source / religious belief, evil has been a topic that people tried to explain for millennia. As usual, whatever the religion of your particular people, you are right and everyone else is wrong.

The bottom line regarding "evil" is that it's a biological / psychological "glitch." The idea is, regarding the brain, using the best example, is that non-empathic people have no feelings for others. They have no feelings because the areas of the brain designed to create "feelings," simply put, don't work. This would be the foundation of potential problems, and if pushed over the line - watch out.

In this picture, the comparison between, for instance, sociopaths and psychopaths make a good defining picture. If a sociopath has had a good / non-intrusive life from parents and people while growing up, they will simply grow up and do what needs to be done career-wise, and although they aren't 100% "hidden" ... they still lead a basically quiet life. I've known these type people for years, and they're interesting to watch and study.

This idea is best defined in this video.

Leibniz's classification of evils:

- moral evil (=sin)
- physical evil (=suffering)
- metaphysical evil (=imperfection)

Non-functional brain is a metaphysical evil and suffering caused by this condition is a physical evil.

Non-functional brain is a metaphysical evil and suffering caused by this condition is a physical evil.

Leibniz' life dating (1600s-1700s) is way too early for him to get true information. Today the historical picture regarding "GOD" and the development of religion, as well as the medical science studies that show the biological / psychological problems behind evil, would have answered all of his questions regarding "GOD" and his creation that has "evil" in it.
