Evil cannot be defined by one person alone. Evil is a relative term and is defined by many. To me, Evil is knowing that something terrible is about to happen, and no one is doing anything about it. But, like I said, Evil is a matter of opinion.

I suppose that there really is no evil, since everyone doesn't exactly see "eye-to-eye". And really, all we are is just a bunch of particles interacting with eachother and each outcome is what it is. However, since we do have thought, and spirituality is a possibility, I suppose that evil is in the eye of each individual person.
peace and love,

(nice question, definately made me think a whole bunch)

When the fakers need something to shirk responsibilities of their imperfection and failures, and to make themselves feel like angels, they create an imaginary external entity, onto which they blame for their own misdemeanour. That entity is called 'evil'.
But the true evil, is that delusional sense of goodness that they envision within themselves.

Evil is willfully causing the suffering of others purely for the sake of causing suffering; it's torture or sadism or otherwise taking pleasure in the suffering of beings.
That's the only definition that I can find, that resonates as truth to me in 100% of possible cases.

Evil is the absence of goodness. There is no room for evil where good is being done.

To define evil, one must define what is good.
But things such as love, hatred, faith, etc. cannot be defined. They can just be felt.

There is no such thing as "good and evil" just perception. But, I would define "evil" as anything or anyone without morals or who's morals go overboard, such as freaky religious people.

evil would be doing things only for personal benefit - with no regard for the feelings or thoughts of others.
to be selfish is to be evil.
