The thing about overwhelming evil is that those who perpetrate it come from a place that what they think is the only thing that matters. Asserting what they believe and imposing that belief on others even when it causes great pain is just a horrible thing to do. People deserve to live without people in the shadows plotting against them and stripping their dignity, freedom and choice of life. Today I was reminded of how very damaged people exert revenge on the world because they feel the need to make others hurt.

Strong, thought-provoking words. It feels beyond me to truly get to know what goes on in the psyches of perpetrators of pure evil, but your post has made me ponder on it.

Selfish narcissistic beliefs are often the root causes of such evil. Neither allows room for anything but evil to take root and there has been a lot of that going around these days.
