just some pondering...

 

I have been doing a lot of thinking about what evil could be, or how it can be defined.  I have come to the conclusion that I think that evil is most definitely a cultural creation that varies due culture.  What can be labeled at “evil” or “devious” in one culture may be normal for another.  For example certain groups of people practice cannibalism. In the Untied Stated that is punishable my law and is considered by many people to be wrong.
