Topic: I believe all life is evil. (Read 3700 times)

So, how did you come to this conclusion that all life is evil because all life is selfish?
Surely, some people are selfish, more or less, and some people are evil, more or less, but you can't generalize in this way.
Many people like Mother Theresa, or jesus in the past, was completely unselfish, and gave everything to others.

I worry about this statement you just wrote: Taking life is not evil because if we accept this, we justify killing.
Life is God's gift and blessing, not something we own and we are not free to do with it as we wish.

This is a thread, where people who bought bad stuff at darkmarkets, post their deep thoughts?

People are born neutral. Reproducing is not evil, if you think you are evil then you are evil. Evil is a myth word and it has many meaning.

If having feelings is selfish, then all humans are selfish because all humans have feelings. I agree with that if that's what's meant in the OP. But, if everything is pretty much evil, what's really evil? If everything's evil, there is no evil. And if there's no evil, then there's no good because there's nothing to compare evil to.

So here I sit, with thousands of evil thought's.. oh boy how I wish I could get god to blow up the planet, just to save the rest of the species from the misery inflicted by EVERY human being on it. When we wash our dishes or clothes, we put filth and chemicals back into the food chain. When we chop tree's, we plant useless ones in their place.. 99% of gardens would win the garden show, yet the owners are hungry, cause the prize money from the prize rose ran out in a week.. did they think of growing food? 2 many things to mention..

Yet I go out into that world, and all I hear is can I help with this or that from folks who know full well I will..

I say again.. only evil can come from good, and only good can come from evil..

A child killer commits evil and kills your child. The good thing is the kickin's he gets when he gets life, and he's off the street.. notice how parents of child victims financial status goes through the roof? Of course you did'nt.. you only see the evil commited, since thats all you were focused on.

A fight breaks out in the street, a lass gets knocked to the ground, guy straddles her and starts punching into her face.. You try to intervene, and off course, the energy is now focused on you so the lass can get up and escape the torrent of physical abuse.. You get arrested for causing the commotion and charged with breach of the peace, the lass went home with the guy that beat her face to a pulp. In attempting to BE good, you got charged with assault, cause the guy is an off duty cop.

Good and Evil are like Dark and Light, the opposite ends of the same scales..

No, humans are inherently good, and through other factors(environmental, even biological/dealing with the brain and some people have a distinct lack of empathy), turn them "evil".

I'm pretty sure we all start off as evil but we must learn to outgrow our evil ways.

Humans are not inherently selfish. There was a study done where humans who came across homeless people were asked to give there first thoughts.

There first thoughts were to give money to the homeless man. But as they thought about the situation more, they thought that maybe the homeless man wasn't homeless at all, that they had better things to spend the money on etc.

So that would mean humans become selfish because of a multitude of things, and are not inherently selfish. Stop trying to justify human life as being evil when it's exactly the contrary.

I see that some of you(LaudaM) are denying emotions etc. You're just being irrational and irresponsible to yourselves. Unless you have aspergers or another condition that makes you incapable of having empathy for another human being, please do not deny yourself the beauty of emotions(love), bonds(sex), etc. It's at least very irrational and means you probably have a god complex or you're absorbed in some fantasy world, well whatever the reason, it's not healthy

It is us that make things evil.  Everything is just energy.

It is not quite as simple as Shakespeare said, "To be, or not to be." I think of it more like, "To kill, or not to kill", since one simply cannot "be" without killing something for sustenance. So, for the most part, I tend to agree with OP, especially when killing is done needlessly or for the pure pleasure of it.

orginal sin was indeed a sin.  by committing it, we introduced dick chopping into the world

Dya think I'd be writing masonic secrets online here if I did'nt care? Change the situation? As an aquarian, I can tell you the change is afoot.. sadley we have to thank those psykos in the middle east for wakin up the govs to their demise, even worse is the fact they kill folks who are nowt to do with any this crap by blowin emselves up instead of the actual aggressors and their rulers.. who dont give a shit about you or me..

I actually posted about this once. Um, Religion is good in that it unites people. But evil in that people think religion revolves around the individual.

As far as God is concerned (I'm an atheist), he created us with 'original sin'.

I've been thinking about this concept for the last few days.
I truly believe we are all evil selfish individuals, and the only good that can come from us, is cooperation.

not at all, but at nutshell the humans are the only race that are destroying this world, creating diseases, virus, wars, hunger, and the saddest part is that we don't care to change this situation.

Good, since only good can come of evil..

Is god the inventor of the evil, or is it lucifer that was the one that done it ?On average is evil about ... dark greenish, 20 fahrenheit, hydrogen sulphide smell, and misty ?I thought i saw one once ?

Don't agree with you, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

all life is evil!?

no wonder why we have so many wars 

there evidently exist emotions like empathy and compassion as well, although you might argue those are ultimately also selfish

I don't agree with you. All the mens are not selfish. I think you need to change your mind and also need to spend time with good people.
