Evil is an irrational desire, be it for drugs, which as desire creates "rationalism", namely it will tell you, say "all you need to do is steal that lady’s purse"… – the person does what is unconscionable – Mainly evil boils down to four irrational desires: a. desire for a pleasure (sex, drugs, fame etc.) b. jealousy (hence the desire to take away that which another has that one is jealous over, be it dignity, money; as we see in the phenomena of bulling, hatred to rich etc.) c. honor – once a person perceives that they are high-society they will kill to maintain their position – ironically this delusion often comes to those who have been shamed, hence the bizarre phenomena of dueling which happens on multiple levels; for the fear of shame is similar to the fear of losing pride – in other words, it will create a nonsensical delusion of greatness hence complete morons like African dictators (who barely can speak, often are literally cannibals) will be busy criticizing America etc. d. anger
