Hi Finality

Do you think that anyone can truly be labelled "Evil"? Its a common headline in the newspapers, like "Evil serial killer caught" or whatever.

I can't think that they or any historical tyrants have ever thought themselves evil - they would probably say they're following some higher purpose or felt compelled to do it, and does this mean that they they arent evil but very misguided?

I agree it is good to think that for the most part we make our own choices, but we are buffeted by the currents of the world and our surroundings so perhaps thats plenty to deal with...
