The world is your reflection. Because you are aware of the evil in you does not mean that everyone is evil. Some people have taken control of their evil side, you haven't. plain and simple.

Evil is only a by product of our society. One can claim another is evil, but in actuality that just means they are evil by their definition. No person can define another as evil because it is all base on perspective, there is no right or wrong. Just what we dictate to be in the better interest for our society. Thanks for reading!
So there are no absolutes ? everything is relative ? sounds like new age philosophy to me
I don't think you are evil. I hope you don't think I am evil, but I understand if you do. You can believe that we don't all hold instinctive traits to better our society and that we base our culture around what is best for us. But at least take away that life is bigger than you or me. We create walls in life and it is important to realize that there might be a great perceptive that we are avoiding so that we can keep ourselves comforted in our own illusion of reality.
I am not saying that you or I are evil, but I think that we are all dual in nature, and this is something people have been aware forever. We have the free will to do good, or to do evil. However, there is a common ground between all philosophies throughout the ages and the land, which lead to think that at a higher level, there is an absolute. And this absolute is like a light house that guide the seekers for ultimate reality.
But we back to your comment that we have free will to do good or to do evil. I am saying that there is no evil. Only what you and I define as bad. We create evil by our own definitions. I am not sure about your absolute definition, this is just how I feel. I do not try to lump myself into a philosophy group or ideology, but instead try to keep my views separate. I am always open to learning about other's views, because it grows my own. I am reading about absolutes in philosophy and I don't believe I fully understand it. I will have to do some more research in the morning, if you cared to explain a little more that might help as well. Thanks!
