Hi Tina;

Curioser and curioser, How about curiosity.

You are really good at moderating this thread Tina.

After this you might want to start another, asking what is the root ( or the source ) of the GOOD.
Being a theist of course I'm going to say GOD.
But what is the answer, agnostics and atheists would give?

Best to you,

Pat

Curiosity is a trait in animals and humans - it is an instinctive motivator for finding out about the environment we inhabit (as we see in children).

Exclusivity coupled with self-centered ideation,comes close enough to the root,as to be
kinfolk.!

OK, could you define which defaces?( 1-2 or 3 or all the above )
de·face (d-fs) KEY

TRANSITIVE VERB:
de·faced , de·fac·ing , de·fac·es

1. To mar or spoil the appearance or surface of; disfigure.
2. To impair the usefulness, value, or influence of.
3. Obsolete To obliterate; destroy.

Best to all,

The root of all evil is simple, it is the lack of sympathy towards others, a lack of compassion or inability to understand one another, simply put it is pure ignorance. Nobody benefits in the matter of evil minds.

Thank you Silence for your golden words!

You have defined an "evil" attitude...but what are the basic ingredients that nurture this attitude?

It is nurtured by the need to survive and do the best you can for those who carry your DNA. It is life's only aim.

But in the absence of "evil" we would not have to be ruthless to survive. "Evil" has neccitated this "selfishness"...eg.Kill or be killed.
