What is my definition of evil? What are some examples of evil in the modern world? What are some examples from history and/or literature?
All work and no play is absolutely sinister. But evil, true evil, is just the opposite of good. Evil is power without awareness. Evil is responsibility without knowledge. Expected obesiance is evil, in the expecter.Evil is one thing making any other thing do something that that thing does not want to do.

The products of evil that exist today in the world are famine, poverty, and murder. Poverty is created in the creation of wealth, so today we have wealth as an evil thing. Famine is a product of overconsumption, and hogging of food, so, the overconsumers and food hogs are today evil things. Murder happens. Regularly. And will never be stopped.

Evil in history is in the invadors, the people who arrived in a land that was not their home, but the home of other people who had been living there for a very long time, then called it their own home. Genocide has been an example of evil throughout history. When the spanish all but killed the native americans, when the brits all but killed the australian aboriginies, when the germans killed the jews, when saddam killed his own people. But war is not evil. War happens. Regularly. And will never be stopped.
