What is Evil?

[Pigeon]

Disorder or change is not necessarily bad.

Edit...add NOT

Popular believe would point to the bossanova or Bin Laden. May be there is no evil other than a label.

Isn't the bossanova a dance step?

There is a Principle of evil that emanates from the potential of Chaos (entropy.) Change (process) is not evil per se in that it always spirals towards higher degrees of complexity (novelty). That is the nature of Creation and is necessary to, and the cause of, the expanding universe. So we're not in disagreement concerning 'labels.' Evil is potential and not actual. The lower discussion of good and evil on a moralistic basis is a different matter and the cause of endless confusion in considering the essential (Ideal) concept.

(apologies to Plato and Whitehead.)

he essence of evil is entropy as defined by thermodynamics. It is a principle not a mode of action.

A spiffy way of saying, the devil finds work for idle hands.

As to Alice Miller and her sick ilk, I think they are possessed by the devil and are an example of evil. A simple comparison of the behavior of children before 1959, and, after 50 years without discipline, children of today, should show even an idiot that Millers psycobabble contributes to evil.
