Anyone you know? ...one of the key characteristics of evil is its desire to confuse. At one point I defined evil as the exercise of political power, that is, the imposition of ones will upon others by overt or covert coercion--in order to avoid...spiritual growth. ...a thirst for power unsubordinated to anything higher than itself. ...the evil flee both self-examination and any situation in which they might be closely examined by others. ...wherever there is evil, theres a lie around...Evil always has something to do with lies. ...evil is distinguished by: (a) consistent destructive, scapegoating behavior, which may often be quite subtle. (b) excessive, albeit usually covert intolerance to criticism and other forms of narcissistic injury. (c) pronounced concern with a public image and self-image of respectability, contributing to a stability of life-style but also to pretentiousness and denial of hateful feelings or vengeful motives. (d) intellectual deviousness, with an increased likelihood of a mild schizophreniclike disturbance of thinking at times of stress. M. Scott Peck, People of the Lie. Peck also studied, analyzed group evil and collective responsibility, how evil filters from the top down to the ranks. Narcissistic leaders at every stage create the collective of evil..... Sound familiar?
