Evilness...

What makes people evil? Nobody is really evil; evil is a point of view. America was evil to Japan in World War II; Guitar was evil to Milkman; Pharaohs were evil to their slaves. Evilness isn't born into people; instead, it is worn on people. Someone may see an act as harmful or malicious, but everything is relative to one's opinion. Voldemort was trying to be a good guy and create a pure world of witches and wizards--or he was a crazed powerhungry warrior bent on utter destruction. Guitar was trying to do his job when Milkman got in the way--or he just wanted revenge on his friend for not cutting him in for part of some gold. Evilness isn't universal, so people cannot be born evil. If someone declares themselves evil and the world agrees, though, then the person may be evil.
