There is no such thing as Evil with the big E. People want to use these extremist labels so as to avoid having to understand the motivations behind some actions. But lack of understanding will prevent us from ever evolving beyond, or preventing actions that many deem... Evil.
Actions like this stem from within, it is not a magical force which takes hold and aleviates blame. It is a side effect of the unnatural balance of our culture.

The real evil is as much within a woman as in a man... there is no separate entity of the so-called Evil which can possess us and force us to do anything without our desire or will. We human beings are so self-seeking and arrogant that we want to believe as though there is no evil within us, as though we all are great good beings.... truth is far from it. It is the dirt inside us that gives birth to any evil!!

I firmly believe that there is nothing called "Evil". The behaviour of a man changes according to the circumstances. If a man cannot alter his attitude according to the situation, there is every possibility of him being "Evil". An unbiosed estimate of given situation is very much helpful to a man for being " God". Even an iota of detachment from the situation will help a lot. Hence, we can say there is no evil but the real evil lies in a man himself.

Many people carry evil within themselves, and are completely unaware of it. Most people never become aware of it. It is only activated when social conditions allow it freedom - as in Germany in the 1930s, when there was never a shortage of volunteers for the job of Gestapo operative or concentration camp guard. These evil people didn't spring up fully-formed out of the ground, they were Mr and Mrs Normal.

The man possesses an evil nature, (Nafs),not the evil itself, if it is left uncontrolled, it possesses the man. Otherwise if we control our wild nature, like a tanning of a wild horse, it is the best fuel of energy to live real life with peace, determination and height of self respect.

As long as evil lives in the world it will live in the heart of humans until we understand how to give it , by laying it down at the cross. Evil is a weapon that must stay down and not be picked up.

We have the power within us to resist all evil. However, we cannot be anything but what we are, inside. If there is evil in us, if we are weak in character, then we will fall victim to every evil impulse. But the righteous will not be fooled. They will always prevail over any evil.

According to the Bible, no one is born evil. We are born with a sinful nature, Genesis: Chapter 1, but that does not make us evil. God warns us throughout His Word to turn away and run from evil. If we allow ourselves to entertain certain thoughts, feelings, urges, etc... we can allow them to take over our mind and our soul. That's why we are warned to guard our hearts and lives against evil. I believe we allow evil to enter our lives and I believe through God we have the power to make it leave by changing the way we live daily.

no evil will ever possess a man when he thinks and acts sinfully he himself becomes an embodiement of Evilness.
