Re: What is the Nature of Evil?

In my original post, I tried to avoid any good/evil perspectives and debates, but since it's come up, I believe an accurate, almost scientific way to view good and evil is like this:

- If an action is performed out of self interest, especially with blatant disregard for the interests of others, then it is evil.

- If an action is performed as a service to others, especially with blatant disregard for one's own interests, then it is good.
