I don’t think I’ve ever met a person who is evil. I’ve met selfish and vengeful, lazy and careless. I’ve seen a lot of people do a lot of harm from lacking the desire to be “good” in a selfless fashion. But I’ve yet to meet someone who is sadistic or malevolent.
The old axiom “No one is a bad guy in their own mind” comes to mind.
But maybe I just have an overly narrow definition of evil?
Closest thing to mortality!

The love of money (greed) is the root of all evil. People commit evil acts out of greed, but they rationalize them as something they have to do.
As Robert Heinlein put it, “Man is not a rational animal; he is a rationalizing animal.”
