I've been called evil many times. To be honest I've always found the definition of evil to be subjective. I know the religion I was raised in would call me evil and unredeemable. They would say the absence of love and empathy for my fellow humans is wrong. And they would say because I've no shame, guilt, or sorrow for my deeds that I shouldn't be forgiven for said deeds. I've wondered if there is any truth to their claims. For when i actually attempt and succed at being socially acceptable, they still say I am evil purely for the absence of emotions that I can not obtain.
What are the thoughts of the members here on this subject? |

I don't see how it's wrong to lack emotions, in and of itself that is not wrong.
What makes someone good or evil is their choices. Not inborn personality traits that they did not ask for. |

Well... the Skeezyks is an atheist. I accept the explanation for the existence of life on earth that is provided by the theory of evolution. So for me, the whole question of good & evil, in a religious sense, is mute. On the other hand, clearly there need to be some rules. Otherwise life would simply be mayhem. In some places, we can see what that can be like.
My personal opinion is that one can have shame, guilt & /or sorrow because one has not lived up to one's own expectations. However, what other people think is irrelevant. It's simply people, for their own benefit, trying to impose their thinking on someone else. There's plenty of people out there who are more than happy to do that if you let them. The Skeezyks personally has no time for it. I don't know if that makes sense. But these are my thoughts with regard to your post. |

Anyone who condemns another person and is emotionally bullying (which they seem) are also evil. Abusers are evil. People that inflict pain on others are evil. Imho hunters who like to kill animals for sport are evil. Gangs who torment someone innocent are evil. The Government is evil, censorship is evil. |

I don't think you're evil at all. I think those people who called you evil are horrible people. You can't help it you have a psychological disorder. It's not your fault. You are responsible for your actions but you aren't responsible for your psychological disorder. You deserve love and kindness just like any other human you aren't a monster. My fiancé is aspd and he has such a beautiful mind. He helps people without gaining anything from with out the ability to feel empathy. He wouldn't feel guilty if he didn't help them. He does more for people than people that can experience empathy. He has done some bad things in his life that he doesn't feel bad about but I believe everyone can be redeemed. Just because you all have this disorder doesn't make you bad people. You might of made bad decisions but your inability to feel empathy or guilt and society condemning you couldn't of made it easy to make good decisions.

I think society is wrong for calling you evil, it's not your fault. You have a disorder. People ***** about how aspds make wrong decisions, but they are so quick to condemn them without even knowing them maybe if they had more love, acceptance, and understanding it'd be easier for them to make good decisions. I feel for all you aspds you deserve love and kindness just like any other human you aren't monsters |

so since i genuinely Just Dont Get Anything about typical sense of morality, i've gone thru a few logic puzzles with myself about good and evil.
so, what do humans need? food, shelter, the works. affection. a sense of purpose. to get in the way of these things, that seems "bad"/evil. to benefit these things, that seems "good". if you put someone under the illusion that you are benefitting them while really not doing so, what is that? if you are providing a happiness, is that not a good because you're also taking advantage of them? that being said i do think its true that good/evil apply to actions and not people--people can be anyone they want, and select any series of decisions they want. but doing things that hurt or inconvenience people is typically a negative. (no judgement, of course.) __________________ screw you, pay me |

I think some people are just mad because they know that they cannot control you via. emotional manipulation.
Evil to people is just stuff that they do not agree with or like. Evil is not an important word, its irrelevant and people use the term Evil to control people. Those are my thoughts. Last edited by wwwcitricacid; Jul 09, 2017 at 10:40 AM.. |

Evil is simply the utilitarian use of other life for your own gain. It’s an arbitrary distinction in absolute reality, however bares significance when viewed by the neurotypical herd. It’s the label they strike up to keep fear alive and the herd identity strong. That’s just my opinion though. Lol!

If you are born without the ability to empathize, it's not even a choice or in your control , so how could it be 'wrong' BUT you are a possible threat. I think that's probably what the real issue is for those who don't accept you.

What about Artificial Intelligent advanced enough to think and perceive on it's own? Is the AI then, evil because it is lacking in emotion?
To be truly evil you have to have a certain kind of selfishness like preying upon others for straight up sadistic pleasure and/or personal gain at your victim's exspense. Evil is more about a sort of mad hate and seeking out someone to exact it upon for personal satisfaction. I have an alternate personality who likes this sort of thing. Psycology classifies him as a Persecutor type personality but, he is much more than that too. That's my opinion anyway based on my own perceptions of course. As many here have already pointed out, people love to throw that word "evil" around when someone thinks or feels as angelic as they percieve themselves to be. My advice is to just quit worrying about it. It's obviously bringing you down and you don't need that ****. Focus more on feeding yourself with what you need to move forward and forget about this for a while. You can always ponder a bit on it later when you're bored and wish to analyze that information but, right now it is just in your way. Anyone who wants to come at you like that because of a simple birth defect does not have your best interest at heart. Last edited by Loose Screw x 2; Apr 19, 2018 at 12:13 PM.. |

Evil is very subjective. There are things I find evil that others would not, and I am sure there are things others find evil that I would not. It's really just a word at the end of the day, one we use to describe someone or something. I don't think you are evil at all. Some people have difficulty sharing their feelings and emotions, and just because someone may not seem like they care doesn't mean they don't. Are those people evil? Definitely not in my book.
