Good and evil can sound like abstractions, but they're also behaviors. We strive for goodness by imitating virtue and we turn evil by hating virtue and imitating its opposite. Evil encourages us to despise heroism, loathe decency, and heap contempt onto any sort of principle, value, or conviction. The message of evil is that goodness is both impotent and corrupting, while only rage fueling power is truly empowering. That evil message is one that we now see everywhere.
