Is there actually evil in the world?

[Zero]

For me there is and at the same time there isn't any evil, as evil is just a matter of the view point. What's evil for one person is good for another.

After all evil is nothing more then a word invented by humans, there was no such thing as evil before humans it is just a word and the significance changes from one person to the other.

"Evil" the concept exists whether Evil itself actually exists - they are two different things. Just as: "God" the concept exists whether God himself actually exists - they are two different things. "The Easter Bunny" the concept exists whether the Easter Bunny itself actually exists - they are two different things, etc.

Quote marks note the distinction: "Evil" objectively exists as a concept and a word but Evil does not objectively exist.

To confuse the use of a word with the mentioning of it (to confuse the thing the concept refers to with the concept itself) is to commit the equivocation fallacy.
