Evil, in many cultures, is a broad term used to describe intentional negative moral acts or thoughts that are cruel, unjust, or selfish. Evil is usually contrasted with good, which describes acts that are kind, just, or unselfish. In some religions, evil is an active force, often personified as an entity such as Satan or Ahriman.

Philosophical definitions

Western philosophy

Spinoza

In Western philosophy, evil is usually limited to doing harm or damage to an object or creature. Socrates (in Plato's early work) argued that which we call evil is merely ignorance and that good is that which everyone desires. Benedict de Spinoza said that the difference between good and evil is merely one of personal inclinations: "So everyone, by the highest right of Nature, judges what is good and what is evil, considers his own advantage according to his own temperament... ."

The duality of 'good versus evil' is expressed, in some form or another, by many cultures. Those who believe in the duality theory of evil believe that evil cannot exist without good, nor good without evil, as they are both objective states and opposite ends of the same scale.

Carl Jung

Carl Jung, in his book Answer to Job and elsewhere, depicted evil as the "dark side of God". People tend to believe evil is something external to them, because they project their shadow onto others. But from a psychological point of view to be evil is to refuse to acknowledge the weaknesses in one's own personality. Jung interpreted the story of Jesus as an account of God facing his own shadow.

In religion and ethics, evil refers to the "bad" aspects of the behaviour and reasoning of human beings—those which are deliberately void of conscience, and show a wanton desire for destruction.

How does an ordinary person drive away evil spirits, perhaps from a haunted house?
Q. Whether you believe in such things or see them as fiction, how does an ordinary person (ie, not a priest or paranormal investigator) drive away evil spirits from their home or family?
Asked by Not done with love - Sat Oct 11 16:36:29 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The first answer even tho it may sound silly is a good one. When I was a young girl I was frightened by a ghost. For many days I slept each night in my mom's bedroom because I was afraid. Eventually I went back to my own room and when this ghost came to see me again I just told her that I was very sorry but that I could not help her. That being said there are other rituals that have been effective in ridding haunted places of unwanted spirits. A Wicca Website for a Banishing spell: or there is always the prayer to St. Michael but I would only use it if the entity is demonic There is also a Native American tradition of smudging the home with sage and telling the ghosts firmly to leave. I hope that this helps. Peace&Love be with you...~M~ [cont.]

My true essence, core being personality is evil. How do I make my heart good and compassionate?
Q. I want to be loving towards everyone and love God but lately I smoked marijuana and that made me realize the deep core essence of my personality being is evil, and that bad things I do are manifestations of my true, evil, nature. I've been wanting to fight with people, whenever someone knocks my door I grab my knife for protection, and I don't think people who call themselves "Christian" are truly Christian. How do I change my personality and become a good person? I want to be closer to God.
