There is no definition for such spiritual concepts, when I said definition, of course I do not mean religious descriptions or axiums. At the stand point of philosophy, a philosopher trying just first to ask a basic question, for example you know that if you go to a cinama salon without providing a ticket is of a devil colour(isn't it?), I mean it's not moral, but a philosopher thinks about that what is principally determines a "good" or "devil" in itself nature, In other words, our philospher asks "what is bad(evil or devil) and what is "good", but this question does not lead to a "definition", you know why? I tell you; Cos' there is a great diversity in "scopes of truths", for example; when you say " I am your little sweet kitty" to your girlfriend/boyfriend and when you introduce yourself to your job employer as a architecture you do not tell any lie not only in both cases but you refer those people to different fields of truths. Anyway, devil or good symbols and signs are of historical story rooted in our ancestoral myths. that's all I can say for now!

I have felt its presence fleetingly in my life. Thank God. In 1985 I visited Prague with a group of students from Valparaiso University. As I stood at the gates of Hradcany / Prague Castle
I remembered pictures of Reinhard Heydrich and Heinrich Himmler passing through these very same gates. It was an unpleasant feeling. These two men were certainly in the grips of true evil as they presented the world with the Final Solution.
Sadly, we don't have to travel to find evil. How many young girls were dissappeared today by men who used their lives to satisfy a single urge of self gratification. Such acts drip with evil.
Ultimately, evil is stealing light, joy, and life from any living being to experience your own twisted, selfish and dark joy.

People who value the distinction "Good and Evil" are like salamanders stuck in the mud between the miasma and the asphalt, perpetually fearful of both, cursing their diffident fate.

Evil is a negative value judgment made by men.

It's enough I think to recognize that it is there.
There are truly evil beings among us.
I am not considering genetic inheritance, bandits beget bandits,
but rather malicious and evil souls

To be untrue to your true self is evil and love the lie instead of your own truth.
