evil

What is evil?

Is it that which we do not understand; that which makes us uncomfortable; that which we do not like?

Or is it, perhaps, more systemic like Apartheid, conflict that leads to civilian deaths (Israel/Palestinian; Ukraine; etc), economic policy that leaves 34% of youth unemployed, corrupt and nepotistic governance?

When is wrongdoing truly and intrinsically evil?

Some wisdom from Rumi, the 13 century Persian Poet:

Out beyond ideas
of wrongdoing and rightdoing
there is a field.

I'll meet you there.
