Popular Article: Evil
Evil is a term used to describe something that brings about harmful, painful, and unpleasant effects. It is understood to be of three kinds: Moral evil, natural evil, and metaphysical evil. Moral evil is intentionally originate by human beings through their cruel, vicious, and unjust thoughts and actions, like murder. Natural evil occurs independently of human thoughts and actions, but still causes pain and suffering, and it refers to earthquakes, volcanos, storms, droughts, disease, and so on. "Metaphysical evil" refers to the finite and limited condition of the created spatio-temporal world, thus usually being understood not to be evil in and of itself.
