Very interesting thoughts and analogies!!!!Shadows_ and_Omens wrote:Personally I find it kind of funny how many people associate BA with evil. But what is evil? To me, evil is causing pain and suffering for the sake of causing pain and suffering. This is something that requires choice, it requires a complete understanding of the pain and misery the victim is experiencing, and choosing to inflict it anyway, and enjoying it. A being that cannot and does not have this choice and understanding, can't truly be labelled as evil in my opinion. Many of the beings we label as BA feed off our pain and negative emotions, to them it isn't personal, it's a matter of their own survival. Some of the beings we consider BA cause us pain & suffering simply because their very energy is toxic or otherwise harmful to us, again it's not personal, it's just the way they are. Much like if you were to swim into a group of box jellyfish, you will experience excruciating pain and possibly even die, but those jellyfish are entirely unaware of your suffering, they have no way of understanding or sympathizing with you, not because they are evil, but because they are what they are. There are also those beings that are labelled as BA because they see humans as not only inferior beings, but as vermin, and will attempt to harm humans when they come across them. They view and treat humans about the same way humans view and treat cockroaches & other "pests". In my opinion, these beings don't deserve to be labelled evil any more than humans do. For this reason, I feel DA beings have more capacity for what I personally would call "evil" than the majority of BA beings do. However, this is merely my own opinion, based on how I personally define these terms.
I am learning all the time here, thank you.
