/dep/ - Depression

Evil used to mean something. Now everyone and their dog is considered evil. Another word's definition ground down and processed in to meaning nothing so that everyone can use it.

I define evil as inflicting torture

Everything revolves around balance. Evil is just another useless concept that doesn't work without there being good. Maybe existence is just there because some bored Gods wanted to demonstrate each other what these formal concepts look like in full colour and how limited conscious beings behave when they are given the option between good and evil.

look into gnosticism. i'm increasingly convinced it's the truth.

Here is a list of what I call torture that is commonly suffered on earth:

Hunger and thirst -> the most common form of torment in nature and the major cause of death among animals
Temperature -> from being burned alive to frozen to death I call this the seasonal torture
Violence -> millions of animals are slaughtered every day, among humans every 30 seconds a violent crime happens
Disease -> pain, suffocation, nausea, dizziness, itching, spasms, pressure, discomfort, cramps, paralysis, clots, dysfunction, infections, cancer, etc…
Psychological torment -> anxiety, depression, psychosis, existential dread, trauma, etc…
Fatigue and coercion -> being tired and exhausted, forced slavery, enduring prison or psychiatrization
Emotional trauma -> being scolded, abandoned, abused, bullied, etc…
Nature -> insects biting you, animals devouring you, losing your home from a disaster, storms, earthquake, eruptions
Threat from outer space -> asteroids, aliens, intergalactic events, etc…
Laws -> many laws may prevent you from getting relief such as a home for the homeless, or opioids for the suffering ones

Drug addicts not being given free drugs is torture..? So I was right.
