- kodah 5y agoThat definition is a bit dated. Evil as a result does not relate to evil with intent, and using it in that context is odd in modern times. To make my example a bit more concise, if your financial planner lost you money on the market would you ever tell them, "You did an evil thing"? Of course not, but it did result in harm to you, regardless of their intent.
