People are so caught up in what's evil and what's not. Bullying someone is different than beating someone to death. Neither of them are inherently evil. Bullying is wrong and mean. There's no reason for it. Beating someone to death, while wrong and crazy af, doesn't mean it's evil. Sometimes there's a good reason for it. Just my 2cents.
For the record,
I'm not trying to say that everyone who do this are inherently evil and are scum. Of course there are moments where one may have to resort to drastic measures in a certain situation. I mean, if someone comes at me with the sole intent to cause serious harm to me or anyone I know or to someone less able to defend themselves, that I wouldn't go to extremes. I sure as fuck would defend myself or whoever as best I could.
What I'm trying to advocate for is simply this, that once we begin to justify or excuse certain acts as either lesser or greater, and blur the lines between what is good and what isn't. That is when I believe we lose sight of what is inherently considered as "evil".
I think that causing harm for amusement and self gratification should never be justified with "oh well, it wasn't that bad!". Thinking like this, we open the door for weak justifications for bad behavior and invite repeat situations. I think this is a unique topic that needs a clear definition and kept literally as black and white as much as possible.
As I keep repeating, of course every situation should be dealt on a case by case basis and reactions should never be dealt with a broad brush.
Anyhow, I think this has been hashed out enough as it is.
