in the scriptures, the translation "evil" is found often

personally, i think it is wiser to review our perception of the word "evil" rather than say evil does not exist

generally, our perception of the word "evil" is nuances such as "bad", "hateful", "despicable", "satanic", etc

in short, such perceptions create hatred, anger, hostility & blind reactivity in the mind

where as if our perception of the word "evil" is changed to that of "harmful", this can nurture compassion rather than hatred & anger

but true...ultimately harmful actions originate from delusion and stupidity

to view in this way does not alter the harmfulness of acts such as serial killing, terrorist bombings, etc

however, to view in this way alters our state of mind, nurturing more compassion, responsiveness & understanding

imo
