Worse than Hate

[TheDarkendStar]

I was thinking about the nature of what some people call evil for most people hate and greed are the most powerful of these things.But I have started to think thats not the case hate requires an emotion towards something to make you enraged or care about well in many cases destroying it.Even if you hate something you care about its existence. I will use Hitler as an example he was a man full of hate as such for the Jews and many other groups so much that he sought to destroy them.Many people think this is because he didn't care about there lives I would say they are wrong he cared so much about there existence he sought to destroy them.Hitler had a reason (using this term broadly) there was a cause for his hate but that doesn't seem like the worst crime a person can make in my opinion.For instance most white supremacists were probably raise that way so the hate was learned.

In my opinion the closest thing to evil is a person who literally does not care about the existence of there fellow man a person who kills not out of hate or to hear a victim scream merely because they have nothing better to do a person so devoid of human emotion they dont even care for their own existence. Hate is something any normal human being can develop anyone under the proper conditions I would say could hate a group of people.But this is worse than that a being not caring for anything in existence in my opinion this is the worst type of human being that can exist.

I agree that hate is not necessarily evil. In fact, it is often quite the opposite. You can after all hate evil things, for example you can hate the holocaust.

My definition of evil is rather simple compared to yours; knowingly causing unnecessary suffering. It is consistent with the definition you mentioned, I suppose, but it's more broad.
