Well if you want to get really pedantic, nothing is inherently anything because all meaning is constructed in our minds. Evil is a word humans use to categorize things, not a description of objective reality.<p>I would agree that most people don&#x27;t think of themselves as bad, but since there&#x27;s no objective &#x27;bad&#x27;, wether or not they&#x27;re &#x27;actually bad&#x27; is up to the observer. When a person is labeled as &#x27;evil&#x27; it&#x27;s not a description of them as a person but a description of what the describer thinks of them. Hitler wasn&#x27;t evil because he killed millions of people, he was evil because the general consensus is that doing the stuff he did makes you an evil person.<p>If one loses sight of this and starts think of evil as objective reality, they&#x27;re taking their biases and opinions as objective reality, and down that path lies ruin.
