I didnt actually type this up now, i just copied it from another thread i created a long time ago (still my work)
Please dont take this too seriously.
my question? here it is? is there a such thing as evil in this world?
one way to look at it is yes. evil does exist. killing people no matter what the reason is evil, raping a person just because you can is evil. necrophilia, paedophilia and cannilbalism could all be considered as evil. amirite?
at least that is what we were taught to think. but if you were to look at it from the top and not from a persons perspective you can see that evil doesnt exist nor will it ever exist. confused? lemme help you out on this.
some of you might have read harry potter right? remember the first book, voldy says "there is no such thing as good or evil, there is only power..." remember that? i hated that quote. i hate quotes that are uncomplete and that one simply screamed out "unfinished". because anyone could say "well what about rape? isnt that evil?" the answer would obviously be (according to that quote) power. the rapist had the power and there is no other reason, good/evil had niothing to do with it. but the answer doesnt give you a proper explanation does it?
so after a while i looked into it and had abit of brainstorm (no not really) and this is what i came to: "there is no such thing as good or evil, there is only power... which may lead to cruelty". and IMO that answer pretty much answered all arguements that came to my head (no matter how sad it made me feel). rape, cannibalism, necrophelia etc are all a form of cruelty. you could say that they are evil but to do so would mean you are only looking at it from the victems POV ad the reason for that is the way we were taught. the way socielt taught us (although there is nothing wrong with that).
pretty much all "bad" things could be described as cruelty no matter how harsh it may sound it does answer alot of things but at the same time leave you with a cold feeling.
i would have went deeper with this but im not currently in the mood so i'll end this with two more lines.
There is no such thing as good or evil. There is only power... and it may lead to cruelty".
thoughts?
P.S. this is not what i personally feel about these things but rather how these things could be answered if one was to go to that extreme.
I'll say it again, please do not take this too seriously. its not my opinion but its just something i thought of, something im sure we all do at one point, think up random things.
