About The Book

I created this site to give everyone a place to talk about Evil .This is not the place to talk about the Great Dictators or the Criminal Masterminds. When was the last time any of these affected you?
No, this is the place to write about all the Evil People you personally know.

 I wrote my book (A Primer on Evil) and created this website to:

a) List all those traits Evil People (EP) have in common.
b) Help you catagorize and label them, and
c) Help you name Evil.

Remember:

To name something is to gain power over it!
Many people, suffering the unacceptable behavior of those around them, are searching on the internet and gravitating to those terms that resonate with them. That's fine. On my website, I parse it this way:




Narcissist: A character disorder, possibly brought on by an unfortunate childhood.
Sociopath: Believe it or not, many educated and intelligent people are looking for a genetic link.
Evil: A choice. Period. Full stop.

1) The EP has clearly made a choice to violate you.
2) The EP is fully aware of his actions, and goes to great lengths to hide it (from others).
3) Unlike the narcissist, who seems to be unaware of the fundamental humanity of his victim, and therefore crosses normal boundaries accidentally as often as not, the EP is fully aware of it, and hates it with every fiber of his being.

I fear that many people have both a natural revulsion -- and great sadness -- to naming those to whom they are closely related as Evil. So let's get right down to it:

What is Evil, anyway?
The essence of Evil is the deep-seated need to control others.
The Evil abdicate their responsibility to think, to feel, to care about anyone but themselves. All discipline is thrown out the window, and they no longer reign themselves in. *

*They do this for one simple elegant reason: to get their own way.

What are their traits?
The two dominant traits of the Truly Evil are self-righteousness, and self-pity.*

*All their actions are justified, and they -- the Evil -- are the true victims.

Evil, In my case, my father was the greater Evil amongst the people I was born into, (I don't call them my family, as I am happily married now, and my spouse and children are my family).

Like marries like, so my mother was also evil, and as their children were all raised by two control-freaks, they grew up jostling for control, amongst themselves and over others (one sister became a manager so she could destroy the lives of those under her).

My father expressed (to me) almost all the traits of an abusive husband towards his wife:

1) He didn't care whether I was up" or "down" so long as he put me there.

This is the thing I will never forgive home for: When I was a child, I was naturaly enthusiastic. I loved life!

So one day I was happy and he said to me, "Get off your high horse," or some such. Since he was violently abusive, and I didn't want to get him angry, I thought (child that I was) he will be calmer if I bring myself down a notch.

So, on another day, I was "up" and happy, and forced to see him (my parents were divorced) so I rearranged my mood, my posture etc. (I was nine years old! I shouldn't have to do this!) It was all an attempt to get him to not explode with some violent outburst. I was scared and tired of his outbursts. I thought it would work.

He said, upon seeing my mood, "Hey, buck up! It's not so bad!"

What the f**k! How did he know? He never asked me what was going on in my life. He didn't care enough. And the "it" of which he spoke, was him! "It" is bad, because the "it" is you, you f**king freak!
