Certainly no such thing as OBJECTIVE evil. It's all entirely subjective.
It's a vast and complicated spectrum that you can't really define very easily! Partly to do with the fact morality is entirely subjective I'm sure! Because there's no evidence of OBJECTIVE morality as there isn't of 'evil'.
I do not think the cause of evil is desire either. Because one can desire things that one shouldn't but still have the discipline to not carry out those desires. Although NOT desiring such 'evil' things is BETTER of course
I think the cause of what I would generally describe as 'evil': Is ignorance. I think that, in a way - there is a such thing as moral intelligence which basically comes from emotional intelligence. Although you don't really have to be exactly SMART to have it - just less ignorant. You can be stupid and a good person but if you are very ignorant then that could easily include ignorance of others feelings. Which makes it a LOT harder to be a good person. Because that's what's important with morality as far as I'm concerned: Others feelings - empathy.
Empathy is what's important when it comes to morality to me. Pretty much 'end of'. Some people have a greater sense of empathy than others - but it's hard to 'TEACH' - because it's all subjective as I said.
Can be learnt but genetics does play a part I say.
