How would you describe the pure evil?
I’d say that evil is a subjective term, because what one person may consider evil another will not. For example, if someone stole my car I would be angry with them and probably call them an evil person but they might feel justified in taking it. We are all different and therefore our opinions differ on what we think is right or wrong. The same applies to whether or not something is considered good or bad.
Evil is also a relative term, as people in some parts of the world will consider things that we would not think are evil. For instance, if two sisters got married to each other it might be taboo where they lived but here it may not be considered something strange. This shows how different people can have different views on what is right or wrong and therefore whether something is good or bad.
I think the reason we call some things evil is because they are harmful to society. For example, if a politician was corrupt he may be doing something that benefits him but it might hurt his country in the long run, so we would call that bad and therefore evil.
Evil is also a descriptive term in the sense that it describes something we don’t like because of its negative qualities. For example, if someone was selfish or greedy we could call them evil because they have negative characteristics.
Evil is therefore a subjective, relative and descriptive term because it depends on people’s opinions and values. These three things make evil to be what we consider bad.
I hope I have answered your question, but if you'd like me to clarify anything then please do ask.
