>>

The difference is we aren't animals and they have hunting instincts. They are programmed to not feel remorse, it is there competition.

Ding Ding Ding. Winner.
The root to all evil is Selfishness.
Selfishness can be simply defined as thinking of yourself more than 50% of the time.

We are all just people, we all deserve equal treatment and consideration.

>>694887601
Evil does exist, its high tier selfishness, when your own actions become about putting others down so you can get further ahead.

>>694888336
Regret comes from analyzing our actions and wishing for a different outcome. The only difference between the human and animals is consciousness, the gift to think and analyze. Therefor, without consciousness animals are incapable of regret. :)

Sorry you feel that way, however you're wrong.
Evil is not subjective. It is the simple act of putting someone else down negatively for your own benefit. And on the other extreme, we have good, doing something positive for someone for their benefit and not yours.

I won't argue past this though, if you can't understand I suggest you go think about it some more.

Yes. Evil is purely subjective. The very definition changes in the eyes of every individual.

>>694888773

Really, some animals do have an emotional struggle with death, but a wolf killing an elk would feel as much as a human killing a chicken. But they have been proven to respond to the death of their own, see: elephant, raven

>>694890051
Yes. Death of their own species. A human killing a chicken feels more remorse than a wolf killing an elk.

>>
>>694890050
Putting someone down is a form of dominance. Animals do it. They snap at each other to keep one another in line.
>>
>>694890293
Why feel remorse when you are doing it in the interest of your own survival?

Man, you wouldn't last long on the farm.
>>
>>694890050
Your definition of evil is literally nature, every animal puts down another animal for gain its really the basis of survival of the fittest and evolution. So my understanding of your comment is that all things are evil?

And dominance for your own sake (again, you have to look at the motive of the action) is selfish.

If I raised my voice and spanked my son for pushing his sister onto a busy road, I've dominated this person for a good reason, the motive is positive in action.

If I jumped a coworker in the alleyway and told him to quit his job, with a mask on, to hopefully get his position as a raise, then I've dominated this person for a bad reason, the motive is negative in action.

You're wrong. Not EVERY animal puts down every other animal. Do more research, there are groups of animals that co-operate, help and love each other.

Despite this, animals lack consciousnesses and run almost completely off instinct, we do not. We have choices to make, and therefore the two categories your actions can be placed into, good, or bad. Evil, or Righteous.

It was just an example I thought of on the spot. But sorry, you're wrong. Violence isn't the root of evil.

Once again, as I've explained, it is the motive behind the action that matters for a definition of good or bad.

>>694893711
It was an example, try not to get caught up in the specifics. I think you have the wrong definition of dominance. Its not inherently bad, just like violence, it is the motive behind it, once again.

But at this point I've said all I needed to say, I've literally answered the thread and provided you guys with what is honestly, the meaning of life, if you're cleaver enough to truly understand the meanings and implications of everything I've said. Maybe keep it in your mind, give the thought a chance to grow in your mind, you may just learn a thing or two.

So if somebody else didn't call some things evil, you wouldn't have percieved them as such at all? Do you identify "good" and "evil" with some kind of a physical measure or your own intuition? If it's the latter, congratulations, they're subjective!
>>
>>694886975
good and evil are just extreme notions that only exist in human mind. In litterature, i like the word "antagonist" because it's not a moral term, it just means it represents the opposition to the main character.
And to follow the idea, your own existence in itself means you will find antagonists at some point, or you will find people that will be against you, or something you say or do etc.
To them, you will be the antagonist. Cause nobody walks around thinking "oh i'm such an evil person and will do evil things". If they are conscious of willing to do harm, it only means that they perceive you as the antagonist.

You are not correct at all. To antagonize simply means to get someone's attention in a usually negative manner. To be an antagonist, you seek out traits in others - whether preacknowleged or not. Usually the former in colloquial terms. Antagonizing someone just means you/they seem a reaction and are trying to get it from someone.

It's not black and white like that.

Let's say a train is headed towards 5 unsuspecting people standing on a track.
There is one man further up the track standing on the side and facing towards it, also unaware of the danger. You are directly behind him and have no time to shout or run to the crowd.

Your options are these:

1. You know that if you murder him with your bare hands by pushing him onto the track and in front of the train you will jam the tracks and save the 5 people.

2. You do nothing to the man and then have to watch the 5 unsuspecting people get slaughtered.

What do you do, is it nessecarily good or evil and why?

Greed

Lol

If everyone spent all of their time giving, no one would ever gain enough to make an actual difference.
I'd say that's pretty evil itself.

Show me a soul.

What are you talking about?
Do the people receiving gifts not gain?

Stop smoking weed and drinking your organic low-fat spinach smoothie and get back to your yoga class.

Not when they're also giving equally.
Everyone would live in little shitty huts farming food for a living.
Which sounds alright in theory, but it'd be pretty shit compared to what we in the west currently have.
Unless you're homeless, but that's just the result of being bad at the game or starting with a bad hand.

Care for you and your own before you care for others, or you'll never make a real difference.

If you cant feel your soul , you obviously dont have one.

The root of all evil is

>Not having money.

Why can head traumas change someones personality then? If they have a soul and that soul is them, why can a bang on their head cause anything from mental illness, to learning new things almost like magic, to anger issues.
Why can harm to the brain change us, if we're really a spirit inhabiting meat?

Women are a necessary evil, but they are the root of all evil nevertheless.

personality traits are linked to your mind, your ego

YOU HAVE BOTH a soul and a mind

Personality traits as we currently understand it are a mix of genetics and upbringing. Formed. Not magic'd from heaven.

You are literally retarded.

Opinions.

Opinions define evil and differing opinions cause evil.

You are correct. It is a lie that was fabricated.

Nature. Evil is subjective, it's natural for a bear to eat your face off but it's evil to murder someone = human logic.
>>
>>694905726
I am not. I hate political correctness.
My point is that opinions define evil. Take Hitler for instance. He (and his underlings) really believed that the systematic murder of six million people was a noble deed. Yet at the same time, he's deemed one of the most evil people in history.

Oh. I thought you meant opinions are evil.

This big time. Humans are the ones who came up with the idea of some type of karmic alignment. We are intelligent enough to ponder if what we are doing is "good or bad". Animals have no sense of right or wrong, they just focus on surviving and reproducing.

>>694905984
you have a closed mind then , what a waste.

i know for certain , the soul is the light of your being.

The place you simply exist without thought

You just havnt found it yet

You have not suffered enough yet

Those are the ones who advance along the path
