Evil is the term we all use when we want to refer to the lack of goodness what does a person observe. Although the word also serves and is widely used to refer to some material damage or moral caused by a person, company or any other entity, as a synonym for illness or disease and when you want to account for a calamity or misfortune that occurred.
As is clear from the references that we express in the paragraph previous, the term evil is surrounded and tinged with a connotation absolutely negative, being the only and clear opponent of good, that is why most cultures tend to define it as the counterpart of this with which it also forms an authentic duality, that is, if good would not exist, evil either.
Both evil and good are two concepts that are closely linked to people's moral behavior, but beware, that only a bad action, or a behavior that has not followed the standards proposed by any civilized society are not enough to decide or to classify a person as bad for life, although of course a reiteration in the type of behavior classified as malicious of course confirms the evil that invades that person. Although it sounds somewhat stereotypical, but most experiences confirm it, generally, individuals who respect their neighbor as well as the social norms that prevail in a community are considered good, inasmuch as that person who, on the contrary, is characterized by his rebellion and
violence In the situations that we mentioned, it will be understood as bad and that it promotes the spread of evil.Likewise, the term evil is highly linked to the religious context, since most religions, regardless of the beliefs they hold, teach and always promote realization of good and of course avoid any form of evil. For example, for Christianity, God will be the good to imitate and follow and the Devil will represent the evil and that from which it is necessary to move away.
And on the other hand, the term bad has an important participation in a good number of sayings or sayings and that are used when, for example, one wants to give an account of some misfortune, problem, among others, such as: there is no evil that does not come for good, evil of many consolation of fools, of bad to worse.
