They discovered the atomic energy that was the right path. It could lighten up the life of million. But they used the atomic energy as the bomb it was the wrong path(sorry though this question wasn't for me)

In the light of the religion, evil means that keeps us on the wrong path. And basically here the maya(illusion) works behind this. Are you from india?

I think evil comes in many forms. Evil is bad energy. To me, evil can bring misery, sufferings, and war. There'll be no peace and harmony. Nobody will be happy when evil is around.
I think greed and selfishness make a person evil. Why is he/she evil in the first place? It's either because the person is not happy with the way things are or the person is just looking for attention and trying to gain something for himself.
It's also evil when you allow somebody else do evil. Like, you watch somebody rape someone and yet you don't do anything about it. That's plain bad.
The world is becoming more evil nowadays. What with all the killing, raping, warring, etc. There are also cruelty to animals, children, helpless people. Oh, it just has to stop! I can't stand reading all the bad news in the newspapers. All these news make me so sad. My heart goes out to all those tortured kids and animals. Why are people so cruel?

Well, I think it takes faith and willpower to control ourselves. Temptation is after all, very tempting, and we have to fight so that we don't give in to it. Like how Jesus did not give in to the devil's temptations.
