EVIL

Evil refers to a moral concept signifying profound immorality, wickedness, or malevolence. It is often characterized by actions, intent, or motivations that cause harm, suffering, or moral outrage. Philosophically and ethically, evil can be seen as the absence or negation of good, and it raises questions about the nature of morality, free will, and the human condition. In various religious and cultural contexts, evil is frequently depicted as a force opposed to good, often personified in the form of a devil or malevolent being. The term can be applied to both actions (such as deceit, cruelty, or violence) and qualities (such as malice or hostility), and discussions of evil often involve considerations of justice, guilt, and redemption.
