In response to Aoren's comment: Actually, there's no proof that all humans are inherently evil. Some may be, but most evils are influenced by other evils around them. Yet while one can be surrounded and flooded by hatred and negativity, and all these "inherent evils" so many claim to be undeniable, they can still easily turn out to be a good person with no hints of malice.

I am one of those kinds of people. A good decade of my life has been nothing but absolute turmoil, neglect, abuse, rejections and problems, from my family and from friends/peers. Everyone keeps telling me I'm not doing right by myself, while I try what I may to help others and make sound choices towards my future. I have health problems that I can't change and that keep me from doing the very things I enjoy and wish I could do more of. This that and the other. If people are inherently evil, then why is it I can be such a loving, carefree, and gentle person with keen insight into the emotions of others, when my life has been filled with all those so called "evils?" A lot of people can be evil, yes. But some people have absolutely no capacity for such things. I am no "pure hero," or some "perfect white light" but hell. Everyone has their shortcomings, but shortcomings don't have to be evil.

Case and point, I refute the idea of "inherent evil," for being one of those who has seen around the darkness that engulfs some others.

The fact that I found that entertaining makes me think that this is not going to be a fun couple of days xD
 
And I suppose you could have a point, but I also hold that we're much like cattle. Herd animals, and we demand a chain of command, but how does one lead? Power, and how does one get it? Money, yes, but when there is no money to be had... The methods become much less pleasant.
 
So my belief is that no, evil isnt even a thing really. It's all power, whether you like the means or not.

When you think about, few people have ever admitted to being evil.

Like beauty, evil is in the eye of the beholder

Which is why, like beauty, I deny it's existance

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. As is evil.

Might be more poignant a statement if it wasnt worded like that by Alexei.

That much, I can agree with. Power can be blinding, and many people will do absolutely anything to get to the top. That in itself is being selfish; stepping on others and doing dastardly things to achieve one's own success. But, not everyone wants power, either. Be it for that reason, insecurity, or just the disinterest in telling others what to do. But for now, I will have to agree that certain manners of "power" and coming to it, which are most, really, can be severely underhanded and twisted. And yes, money is one of the very things that influences evils, because it is a magnet for greed.

And Alexei, I will have to agree with your proclamation as well.
