Default Re: Evil Kids?


I would have to say that if my brother molested my daughter that I would think of that act as evil. Now he may not be an evil person his whole life but that one act would make me break family ties with him.
I never really looked at kids as being evil. I have looked at some as more bad than others but never evil.
As for the kids on the show I am not seeing evil in any of them.

>>>>Still, as repugnant as the acts were, I cannot characterize him as evil, or bad.

lol....why?

Because you're just such a good non-judgemental person, and people are allowed to be how they want? Just because you don't say it doesn't mean you don't think it.

Here's how I break it down:

Walking an old lady across the street - good person
Someone who cheats on their spouse - bad person
One who stalks, terrorizes, intimidates, tortures, beats helpless victims and is relentless about it - EVIL

When you finally come to know someone who is evil, you'll have no problem admitting it. Maybe you just haven't met them yet.

You could be describing one person who is all these things.

Because people are who they are, and they do things for reasons that sometimes we cannot understand. And sometimes, if you look at the whole picture - it is understandable, while still being dark and warped. It doesn't excuse it, but it can be understood.

I'm as judgmental as the next person - and I don't think thats a bad thing. In my life, though, understanding is one of the most important qualities I can aspire to. I believe I'm a better mother for it, a better wife, a better friend.... and I don't have to be eaten up by what happened because I know that this individual didn't do it out of malice - no matter how abhorrent the act was.

The only way I was able to get to that point was because I took the time to understand and didn't shut my eyes to the whole of who he is.

I can sincerely say that I don't think he is evil. I don't think he is bad. I think he is broken... and because he can't see that, he cannot have a place in my life anymore.

tau I really like the way you put that. It sheds a little different light on things. My problem is I'm a worrier and because of that I'm a bit uneasy on this issue. I can't bring myself to accept that there is no evil

Then they would fall under the worst category - evil!
