does evil exist?

[chatpilot]

I too agree that evil exists as a concept and not some entity or entities with ill intentions towards mankind as in demons. I define evil as the opposite of good, in other words anything that has deleterious effects or is detrimental to man, society, a people, the environment is in my view evil. Of course there are a myriad number of thing that we could attach evil to but this is the long and short of it.
