Evil Is An Exaggerated ‘I’

This evil is reflected in every conversation, when we stop connecting with others through our need for validation. Evil is the exaggeration of ‘I’ – an inflated ego which uses the listener to confirm its own importance.

When the ego ‘I’ exaggerates,
harm inevitably follows.

Narcissism is the ego’s struggle to simply listen. It wants to fill up space, and actively reshapes the dialogue to centre on itself – “Me and mine”.

The opposite to evil is empathetic understanding,
where the puffed-up ‘I’ is taken out of the picture completely.
