61. Thanks, TG
I appreciate your opinion (I have been lurking on this site for some time and I have a lot of respect for your views, as expressed in your many thoughtful posts).

However, I disagree with this definition.

It seems to me that there are many scenarios in which intentionally harming another person is not evil, but good.

For example, when using force to defend an innocent person who is being physically attacked by a criminal. Or how about boxing? Are all boxers "evil" people, because they intentionally harm each other?

Although I think I know what you mean, I think that your definition of evil cannot be correct.
