Hmmmmm, evil eh?

 

I've looked up a few "definitions" of an evil person and I think the following isn't far off the mark?:-

 

Is consistently self-deceiving, with the intent of avoiding guilt and maintaining a self image of perfection.

 

Deceives others as a consequence of their own self-deception.

 

Psychologically projects his or her evils and sins onto very specific targets, scapegoating those targets while treating everyone else normally.

 

Commonly hates with the pretense of love, for the purposes of self-deception as much as the deception of others.

 

Abuses political or emotional power ("the imposition of one's will upon others by overt or covert coercion").

 

Maintains a high level of respectability and lies incessantly in order to do so

 

Is consistent in his or her sins. Evil people are defined not so much by the magnitude of their sins, but by their consistency (of destructiveness.

 

Is unable to think from the viewpoint of their victim.

 

Has a covert intolerance to criticism and other forms of narcissitic injury.



It's life Jim, but not as WE know it.
Live long and prosper.
