Fiddlers Green Point. So, cruelty, if the act of cruelty is only situationally cruel, is not Evil. I haven't come to a conclusion on if cruelty can be considered evil or not, mostly because what constitutes cruelty isn't currently objective, since all it comments upon is the infliction of suffering.
Suffering is a function of individual responses to stimuli.
If instead of "cruelty", we were to address the deliberate act designed for the sole reason to generate suffering within an individual, I'd be more inclined to calling that an evil since it removes accidental suffering and personal values as to the merits (or lack) of suffering.
Quote: Are you positting varying degrees of evil, or merely a yes-no system? The morality involved is a yes-no. The value ascribed is commonly a scale.

TeaDidikai Fiddlers Green So, why is theft Evil? Or, mayhaps, a better question is what constitutes theft? To paraphrase (and address further concepts) the act of depriving another of that which they own. This is a poor attempt at translating a concept from Teaeese and it addresses a number of Evils, since it can be applied to bodily integrity, life etc. Right then. I suppose the meat of the question then, would be how is ownership established?
