It made me wonder, hearing from certain people who faced discrimination and harassment. They were hurt every single day intentionally and some of them had PTSD caused by their harm and became incredibly jumpy and traumatized.

Would that make the person who caused the harm evil?

    I can’t think of a more reasonable definition of an evil person than a person who does a lot of evil.

    Usually people have some kind of way of justifying an action to themselves, and there’s always a story that lead up to it. Everyone I’ve gotten to know well is part of one problem or another.

    So, It’s not very interesting to ask where to draw the line, and even less useful. The important thing is what to do about it.
