"Evil-being a person who has no disregard for his fellow man, and sees man as an expendable commodity ripe for expoitation, or a person who does cause undue suffering towards his fellow man. "
but exploitation pertains to life. Life itself is a series of exploitation, we exploit cows, birds, the environment, eachother whatever to survive and get ahead, without exploiting we would all be dead. I liked your second definition the best. Exploitation for survival isn't "Undue".
"Do you do charity work down at the Children's Hospital"
What about the charitable person who only does it for attention and glory. "Hey like if i do charity work that girl will think im caring!" "If i do charity work I can put it on my resume".
"as even simply ignoring the Children's Hospital, you are on the "Good" side, as you are not causing suffering."
But you're not helping. Let's use a better example, what if a children was being beaten next to you and you ignored it. You're not causing suffering at all, but you're certainly not being "Good". I always thought good was more of a progressive state in which the amount of "Good" and "Happy" things you cause (or attempt to cause) are more than the evil things you cause. Not doing anything particular isn't helpful or good, although not particularly evil either, if anything it's still "Selfish". No action=action.
