I found that one out the hard way. I'm hoping that it nobody starts yelling at me for it. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Eh. Maybe what you mean is that taking wrong actions doesn't make you necessarily "evil" in the way a person is who *intentionally* does wrong-doing. The actions are wrong in themselves--maliciousness, anger, lust. Mostly because the feelings themselves are perversions.

Maliciousness: a perversion of the want to correct a wrong

Anger: a perversion of not liking a wrong

Lust: a perversion of physical love.

To succumb to these wrong-doings doesn't make someone "evil"... refusing to correct the wrong, not having any guilt for the wrong-doing, not seeking repentance, and delighting in the wrong-doing is what makes a person have "evil" tendencies. Maybe you meant that and just phrased it wrong. Or maybe you meant it that way, in which I would love to hear your viewpoint.
Yeah, I meant that, but I may not have been clear enough.

And I agree. Those actions are perverted good.

Got to go to school now.

Love,
