What is Evil?

This question has plagued mankind for millennia, yet there is not one true set in stone definition for what constitutes its meaning. Is it something that causes fear and dread in someone?

Or is it simply something that we can’t explain that is so far beyond what we recognize or categorize as normal behavior or influence that the only way we can define it is as of an “Evil” origin? These questions may never be ans...
