After studying Shin Buddhism for a bit, I reconsidered the definition of 'evil'.
'Evil' is when you are constantly blind to the truth of reality and therefore selfishly commit to worldly desires while committing harm towards other people and other life forms not just violently.
This made me think, perhaps I'm almost just as evil as everyone else... But this awareness is suppose to be a good thing because it brings self-accountability and healing.
