No I mean you know when it’s beneficial to be evil. There are moments in life where it will be better for you to do something “evil” that will benefit you and no one would know about it. Sometimes it would be stupid not to, but because morals are so socially ingrained a lot of people wouldn’t do something considered “evil” even if no one would find out about it. I think thats stupid. So in my opinion you learn that you have to be kind in 98% of interactions, but occasionally you will come across situations where being evil will be more beneficial than being kind. Being smart enough to know when a situation comes up is what I’m talking about. Defending yourself if never evil, it’s self preservation. Never evil
To me, that’s not necessarily evil, just selfish. Selfishness can be and often is evil, but to me true evil is deliberately causing pain for your own pleasure; sadism without a masochist.
