Evil gives rise to wickedness and sin. It consumes and controls everything it possesses. It takes a certain disposition to commit evil acts. Pure evil is made up of absolute hatred; hatred of oneself, hatred of society, hatred of others. Naturally, it takes passion to hate. Greed also contributes to evil. There must be something to motivate evil acts and the want and desire of something more is the perfect catalyst. When evil is found in people, these people are often also cunning and spiteful. It takes clever plotting and a true craft to display evil. Passion, greed, and spite are all contributing factors to evil. Evil in its simplest forms is even apparent in children’s shows. From the earliest age, society attempts to teach its citizens to recognize evil. From Mojo Jojo to Plankton, kids are learning what acts and traits are considered morally wrong. Because evil is often considered a violation of morals and not of ethics, it can always be up for interpretation. Evil changes its form to every person and everyone sees evil in different places. Evil is fundamentally made up of the Capital Vices; lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, and pride. Variations of this list of sins are found in almost every culture and have been around for centuries.



//__Kathryn__// //The warm breeze blew across my face and I breathed in the sweet smell of the freshly picked daisies mixed with the subtle spice of his cologne. It was a fragrance so familiar, filled with so many memories. I listened to the rhythm of his heartbeat mixing with Lucy’s gentle panting. We had been meeting in this meadow for years, escaping our realities. On an average day, I was busy at my studies, an endless blur of piano lessons, Latin tutors, croquet games; every other way my mother and father felt a proper young lady should spend her time. William was a thousand miles away, attending a prestigious university, fast on his way to becoming a well-known and respected lawyer. Whenever he came home, we met in this peaceful place and let the world around us drift away. There was only he and I. As always, a nagging voice in the back of my mind reminded me that this blissful moment would be cut painfully short. He had to return to school soon. I wished nothing more than to stay in this moment forever, my love’s arms wrapped so delicately around me.//

 * I held Kathryn in my arms and felt her hair fall softly across my hand. I sighed deeply, hoping she wouldn’t interpret it as what it really was; a sigh filled with pain and regret, a sigh overcome with guilt. She was so young and so vulnerable. I knew she loved me and I could not bear the thought of hurting her. I had loved her too, once upon a time. But that was when I was just a boy. That was before. Before I went to school, before my father had died, before I met Scarlett. Scarlett was everything I had ever wanted and everything I had never known. She was cultured and intelligent, she was beautiful and kind. Kathryn just couldn’t understand. I leaned in to her ear, “I love you.” I was leaving soon, anyways. She would never know.**
