Buddhism

some other thoughts and links

I have long studied Evil, is it acquired, is it inherent, is that title imposed on something from cultural, religious or personal misconception or one's own mental/perceptual/emotional limitations or prejudice. I believe I have discovered what Evil is.. first the Buddhist side..

In the Theravada tradition suffering arises when one identifies with or clings to an aggregate.

AGGREGATES
1] "form" or "matter" external and internal matter. Externally, rupa is the physical world. Internally, rupa includes the material body and the physical sense organ

2] "sensation" or "feeling" sensing an object as either pleasant or unpleasant or neutral

3] "perception", "conception", "apperception", "cognition", or "discrimination" registers whether an object is recognized or not (for instance, the sound of a bell or the shape of a tree)

4] "mental formations", "impulses", "volition", or "compositional factors" all types of mental habits, thoughts, ideas, opinions, prejudices, compulsions, and decisions triggered by an object.

5] "consciousness" or "discernment" cognizance, that which discerns


my research indicates that there is only one real source of Evil. Terrorists are not Evil, they are simply suffering from the Skandhas.. they are just using inappropriate means to achieve a goal that results in more suffering.

what is Evil is Psychopathy. about 1% of people are Psychopaths, men and women who from birth are 'Apex Predators' without conscience, guilt nor remorse. we can't easily or at all, identify them by looking at them. they on the other hand can identify each other in a crowd even as toddlers, they can form 'Hives' and congregate, the GOP is a prime example, you might have noticed the GOP never does anything without millions of people suffering from it, and they wont cooperate with the low life cockroaches...
