There is no evil. Evil (and good) are arbitrarily made concepts by human beings defined my our morals. In reality our morals mean nothing because all they really are are our instincts of survival that otherwise have no universal meaning.

The holocaust, molesting, torture, beatings, and kidnappings. Drunk drivers across America regularly slam their vehicles into other cars instantly killing whole families. There are witchdoctors in Africa who tell men who have AIDS to have sex with a baby in order to be cured, and as a result many female babies are being taken from their mother’s arms and gang-raped even as I write this. Is this not horrendous? In sub-Saharan Africa nearly four million people die from AIDS each year! Just watching a re-enactment of the holocaust as depicted in Spielberg’s movie, Schindler’s List, is enough to keep Christians up late at night wondering why God doesn’t do much to help us in this life. Nearly 40,000 people, mostly children, die every day around the world, due to hunger. Then there was Joseph Mengele, who tortured concentration camp prisoners; atomic bombs that devastated Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Soviet gulags, 9/11 twin tower terrorist attacks, Cambodian children stepping on land mines, Columbine shootings, Jeffery Dahlmer, Ted Bundy, gang rapes, and brutal slavery.

If that is how you see it, then yes. But in reality it’s not.

Here’s what I find kind of funny:
We see things such as killing another human being as being evil, yet, very often, we will not place such weight on killing animals.

because they’re not the same species. by nature species put more weight on their own kind. human life worth more than animal’s life

Oh I do know why, it still seems kind of funny to me. They’re as much of living beings as we are, after all.
What makes it funnier, is how some humans will see the animals as just as important and see it just as evil, almost like it is starting to go beyond instincts of our own species and delving into others.
There is no such thing as good or evil. Morality is baseless. It differs from person to person, from culture to culture. There is no base for it, and without the base, the tower will fall.

While this is true, the concepts are still prospectives.

It would not be considered evil, but an act out of evil to most, but to people such as Hitler, it would be considered something else, such as an act of justice.
Evil doesn’t exist. Its a notion developed by mankind to label and rationalise that which they do not fully understand or tollerate. Its a notion that gets thrown around to justify a feelings people experiance when faced with something they find morally disturbing and untollerable. Indeed Evil, much like good is simply a act of survival and selfserving. Good is even more of a stupid notion than evil. NOBODY does good unless they have something to gain. Even the most rightious of people do good their entire lives just so they will be welcomed in heaven, which is another mankind derived notion to justify and give worth to their lives.
Evil doesn’t exist. Only instinct and primal survival.

So basically, every man and woman for himself. Is that what you are saying?
