'Evil' as a positive (self-evidentiating) quality? No
'Evil' as an absence of capability for Good/ negative quality? Yes. Sociopathy/Psychopathy are at least partially congenital.

why is evil the absence of good and good not the absence of evil?

Evil is absence of possibility of Good. Good is both benevolence and benignness.

>>17163113
okay then why is 'good' not the absence of the possibility of 'evil'? the prescription of 'good' as the positive is dogmatic and arbitrary.

hey tweaker, your "Intuition" lying to you. That's why in Yoga when you start developing ESP guru's advise you to ignore that crap.
That is to say Good and Evil is a distraction. It's just you and the rest of God.

Yes, there are people born with a lack of a functional amygdala, and a heightened killer instinct. Who do you think ends up being your serial killers/contract killers/mafia boss gangs, CEOs and Politicians?

There are (very rare) cases of children seemingly born not only with psychopatic tendencies but an unusual urge to act out on them. From what I understand, in most cases psychopaths will blend in, rarely displaying any unusual behaviours at an early age. A friend of mine worked with a 4~5 years old that tried multiple times to set his parent's bed on fire whiles they were sleeping in it, and obviously the reflex is to try and dig out what the kid is acting on, but as far as he could tell, and the army of specialists they involved in the case, the kid was simply born that way.

>is it possible to be born evil?
Yes, but only if one is possessed of/by the false spirit during one's gestation, such as in the case of the Antichrist.

was wondering if someone was going to say this. just because someone has analogized good and evil with light and dark doesn't mean everything that holds true for light is also true for good. how is this retarded thread still up but mine gets taken down fuck this website
