That sounds like "honest" evil to me Mystic..I don't know, you mighty have to work on this one a bit... I'm left wondering btw, when you open with "if you are evil" and then immediately follow that up with what an honest and good thing to do would be, doesn't that strike you as more than a little bit odd? Conscience? I think perhaps you're imagining that an "evil" persons conscience says the same things to them that your conscience says to you. Nevertheless, you're going to be at a loss in determining who's imaginary friend is yanking who's chain.
Two observations here.
One, this made me think of the old Dungeons & Dragons alignment system.
Two, how much psychological research has been conducted to establish that there is an actual mindset of evil-ness? Is it possible for someone to truly understand himself to be an evil being?
