That's fine (and a definite improvement on my definition) as far as moral evil, but it excludes natural evil.

As well as circumstantial, accidental, and incidental evil. These things might still be bad, especially if there are a plurality of bad making properties....but we generally don't consider it evil when a person does harm by necessity, accident, or ignorance. More like regrettable, avoidable, and stupid.
