When we
think of all the wars and blood shed that the world went through we ask ourselves
who did it and why. The only answer we can get is that those people are evil.
Personally
I don't think that there is anything called evil, I think that evil is nothing
but a good positive power which haven't been used properly .an evil person is
just a person who uses his abilities in ways that the world don't understand
.take for example the notorious Al Capons
. He was supposedly the most evil man u could know. He could kill an innocent
person just if he didn’t like his face or the way he smiled .it is very
interesting that AL capon never saw himself as evil doer ,as a matter of fact
he viewed himself as servant of society. he said once( I have spent the best
years of my life giving people the lighter pleasures, helping them have a good
time, and all I get is abuse, the existence of a hunted man.)For AL Capone the
problem is in the world which didn't understand him and his reform theory.
Immanuel
Kant dealt with this matter of radical evil and concluded that it is impossible
for any human being to take the extreme side when it comes to evil. For him
evil contradicts the good nature of human beings. Evil is nothing but a
tendency to satisfy the human need in unconventional means. Kant also believed
that human beings cannot “be morally good in some ways and
at the same time morally evil in others” In other words, human beings cant be
extremely good or extremely evil. Of course many if not all the other philosopher disagreed with him.
People could not disregard the horrible massacres that took place in the twentieth
centry. If not evil that makes people commit all those massacres than what is it.
Before the
collapse of the Libyan regime and the murder of Al Gaddafi I have always heard
of a person called Mansur Dou. I have always heard that he committed the most
brutal crimes you can ever imagine. As his name indicates Dou in Arabic meant
electricity and u know no one wanted to mess with electricity so just the name
of the person was shocking. After he was arrested I was expecting some evil
brutal looking person .I was expecting seeing the ultimate evil it was like
getting Adolf Hitler alive but I was really surprised if not shocked. The person
was the nicest man you could ever meet, he was polite and he looked peaceful he
even showed regret form what he did, which was also surprising
What I mean
is that no matter how evil the person or his actions may look remember that
people always think they are right. When some people are stealing they say to
themselves they are just borrowing when some people are committing war crimes
they say to themselves the world will thank me later. If we understand that and
stop judging people the world will certainly be a better one .
