Heartbreaks
Nobody is born evil.
The people who break your heart aren’t necessarily evil, they are just people with good and bad sides, with strengths and weaknesses.
You can’t be angry at them, but maybe you can be angry to life and this anger, the feeling of injustice makes you your evil self.
Have you ever seen a happy person who was evil?
Nope.
You can’t be happy and evil.
You are evil when you are sad, broken, left alone, betrayed.
So, when I think of evil people, I see the guilt in myself and society and I don’t victimize myself, because those people wouldn’t be evil, if they had kind people around them…
Never really thought of it like that… interesting perspective… I think a lot of it has to do with fear. When we are scared of the unknown or start group mentalities (which occurs a lot quicker than you think), that fear manifests into hate and a need to get rid of the “other”. I mostly framed this on the political and social orders of society lol but you get what I was saying.
We cannot forget anger either. Anger and fear mixed together in a society is a recipe for disaster…
I guess for different reasons. I believe a lot of people have been so deeply hurt in life and the pain consumes them to the point that it changes who they are. They may not necessarily like who they have become, but they may find it too hard to become the person that they used to be
True
Thank you for the MHO ♥
Being in a relationship and telling her and showing her all the damage you've gone through and the hurt and she says she won't hurt you like that that she's different then goes and cheats on you and you forgive her because you believe you can make this work even though you sacrificed one of the values you hold dear to yourself just for her to do it again and just when you think it couldn't possibly get worse she tells you she did it to prove how much she hated you and you'll be alone always and forever
Take away / Destroy everything a person values in his life , at the same time you will be responsible for creating a monster.
Hope you got the answer.
I think you hit the nail on the head

That's just it; I don't believe that people who are truly good ever become evil. Some will probably say that it was some traumatic event in their lives that did it, but I've experienced trauma myself (more than once I can assure you) and it made me more sympathetic and empathetic, not less. Why would someone who has suffered pain, but is fundamentally a good person, want to inflict it on others?
NOTHING! You don't turn evil. You were born with evil.
"Man is evil by nature"
But you also have good in you. Basically it depends on which side you choose to feed. a lot of people will say life, or this world made me evil. Wrong! What they mean is they chose to be evil. They chose to let events change their heart. You always have a choice in life. And I'm not speaking above anyone hear. I've let anger consume me at times before. But while revenge will make you feel better for a time being, it's empty. It's not productive. Choose love in the long run you'll be happier. And the world will be a better place for it.
"What causes good people to turn evil?"
Getting f*cked over too many times by enough evil people out there.
Trust me, I know.
There is no one Cause for varied Evil Effects that we see, feel, think, and know they are either right or wrong. Everyone’s “push one over the edge” stimulus is different. We can, however, walk through the process or steps that are taken. Are you up for that❓
Lack of love.
I hate my life, therefore I don't care for others.
How can I give love when I don't have it myself?
Why don't I have it? For all the reasons anyone gets depressed.
Just minutes ago I took a cold shower. You know how it can be difficult to get in there? My motivation was "I hope this cold ass water will kill me". I hear all the time about relatives getting upset for suicides, and if I don't care about their feelings, am i evil?
Is the road to hell paved by blood intentions? I wish everyone could be happy, that's the reason I'm depressed in the first place, because I see shit happening the way it shouldn't be. And not being capable of changing anything is hell. And I'm fine with being evil since I'm in hell already.
I always answer these the same, that such people were not "good people" to begin with.
They were either wearing a mask, or were of small mind and heart, to slip so easily.
Good people remain good people regardless of circumstances. It's why they are called good people.
If you keep falling for others, then you're a shit judge of character of what are "good people".
The road to hell is paved with good intentions, right? So it's usually someone who sees their actions as a way to attain a better end. There's rarely one single event that sets them off. There's almost always a series of really awful life circumstances that sort of pushes them passed the point of being able to process their emotions in a healthy manner.
Good and evil doesn’t really apply to humans because everyone believes they’re good. Serial killers and rapists believe they’re good. Cheaters believe they’re good. Pro choice individuals believe they’re good. Good and evil are only ways in which others judge you based on their beliefs, values, and morals/immorals.
I don't think good people become evil because those are polar opposites. Good people sometimes do bad things but if they have a conscience they will feel badly about it and avoid repeating it. I guess it's possible to have a psychotic break but outside of that there are many negative emotions that can act like little demons telling you to do bad things. Many people are not as good as they come across just like some people are not as bad as they come across, this adds confusion to the issue.
Betrayal, manipulation, being used, lied and anything that's related to these would make many good progress into evil. It's sad and bad. Some people learn from such experiences and turn into even better versions of them. But unfortunately some people turn into completely evil. It's true and unfortunate. This world needs healing and less liers.
Evil is like a virus, it passes from person to person. If someone has experienced any particular evil from someone, they can catch it, and also become the bad one.
There is no such trigger - often, people who turned out to be evil, had in them already, they just did not show it.
They were wolves in sheep's clothing.
Trauma that was never dealt with/ was suppressed usually Is the issue. It can be solved with intense therapy, learning how to be empathetic again etc.
How often does this work though?
It works quite often actually. I’m the United States it is a bit of a mixed bag but many Scandinavian countries that practice good mental health seem to have great results
I wouldn't know. I'm sure most don't even try. But evil people are capable of good things. Adolf Hitler passed laws to protect animals, Ted Bundy worked at a suicide hotline, Pablo Escobar donated money to charity outreach programs and built soccer stadiums.
America doesn’t really have a very strong socialism like other countries that are very safe but I think it’s due to capitalism and being ahead of other people
Consistently feeling hurt or let down.
Not being accepted as normal for the standards of society
Being bullied
Unstable income/ can’t afford bills
*constantly
Everyone has evil in them. It's just a matter of if that person choose to unleash it. Sure certain things might trigger it but everyone still has a choice if they want to be evil or good.
Research "MK Ultra" and then you will know
I think a lot of good people become evil after they become convinced that they are good and thus believe every decision they make to be good, it's the worst kind of evil b/c it is an unconscious evil.
I think in life, bad things keep happening and pushing you until you break. Intelligent people can see that and get help or do something to fight against that. Others give in to it and break and you see it on TV, school shootings, riots, and more. Puti became deranged over time, but why are Russian soldiers raping and killing innocent people? Are they evil? Or are Russian people just born that way?
I believe some people base their character on ego and guilt and shame so are easily manipulated by changing laws and social habits.
You won't find many evil people who see themselves as evil. In fact they almost always internally justify themselves no matter how sick the act is.
There's people starting off because they're curious.
There's people who just had enough with the bs.
Desperation
No matter how good you are as a person you still have a breaking point theirs always a way to make you hit it
Trauma, incorrect medication prescribed, bullying, poverty and unfortunate drug addictions. Many things situation and scenarios can genuinely cause good people to turn evil.
Money and power are the two root causes. Not much more to say.
"Money" is not "the root of all evil" as often thought - it's the LOVE of money. "Power" is neither good or evil - it's how you use it that determines which it is.
@loveslongnails Not necessarily. Super rich don't love money because they already have it. But money does corrupt and causes people to do evil things in order to keep that power.
What makes you think the "super rich" don't love money? Of course they do, and they protect it like anyone else protects what they think is essential to them. Money allows the weak-minded to do corrupt things on a greater scale, which may approach being evil in nature. Mostly, it allows them to do stupid things that aren't necessarily "evil", just wrong. But I believe money is only a minor factor in the personality of those who are truly evil. I've known, and know, men and women who make lots of money and are very benevolent in their actions, and that's all I can judge until I learn otherwise.
Usually corruption trough temptation but some do it out of free will.
Being treated badly or being treated as if they are evil.
Abuse, terror, sorrow and death of beloved ones can change people into monsters. Especially if such things happen during childhood when the human brain is still developing
Never learning how to properly deal with things, or just choosing to ignore those options for a more immediate satisfaction. Not as simple as that but a basic reason
I think they already have to have something there and whatever event causes then to turn evil just pushes them to their predisposition that was inactive or mostly inactive.
Life experiences turn good men bad. Once upon a time I was believer in "good vs evil" and I believed in being a "protector". Now, I am a solid "chaotic neutral", happy to watch the world burn.
Probably an event that accord between you and that person. It could also be that they were fake.
By experiencing past evil themselves or knowing someone that did, by being ridiculed & taken advantage of being nice
Life happens. Situations, traumas, money, love? Etc When they do change, they can never be their old self again, ever.
something to do with their childhood trauma or trauma in general
Most "good" people just need a little push. Just look at ww2 Germans
When good people do evil its either ideology or religion.
We don't turn evil. We are evil by nature, some worse than others.
most people do not want CHRIST above the dome
