Fascinating.

Myself, I have encountered Evil on a different plane--the plane of indifference. The police officer who violates one's civil liberties because he can, and because he just doesn't give a damn.

Bullies who prey on the smaller and weaker for no better reason than it amuses them.

Teachers who look the other way because they'd rather not deal with the parents.

Evil comes into this world in many forms. Forms of violence. Forms of destruction. Forms of apathy.

Many forms. Yet all Evil.

Great post. I visualized it as I read.

Well spun. Really. I felt it.

But, I think evil feels different. That is how a twisted, psychopath feels. Or a sociopath...one who acted out of his heart. Evil, I think, feels different because it isn’t human. Have you read M. Scott Peck’s book ‘People of the Lie’?

I wish that I had only visualized this memory of yours. Those feelings you described is something that I've experienced since childhood. I don't know exactly why I get these feelings or what causes me to experience them as often as I have in my 47 years of life. I've often wondered how many others go through this as well. Is this the only time you've experienced this echo of evil?
