Does everyone have some good and evil in them? I've never hurt anyone (that wasn't consensual

) but I feel a darkness inside me that wants to wipe out all of creation. Yet I'm a good person. Is this natural? Am I just more in touch with my dark side? Is this the concept of Yin and Yang? I think so.

I never have & probably never will, but sometimes I really, really want to kill something, so I'd say yes to questions 1, 2, & 4, & no to question 3. It's successfully battling the dark side that makes a person good. ...I think.

Isn't evil a concept waged by the powers of religion? Darkness/evil is merely the manifestation of negativism. If one didn't have negative thoughts, one wouldn't be human. Even those with the most impeccable moral codes hide dark thoughts.

Or maybe we're just a bunch of heathens.

That's normal behavior. Like a kaleidescope we have all sorts of facets to our personalities. It's not always pretty. That's why you feel like the evil you. If you start feeling like that all the time then something is wrong.

we all have two creatures in us, evil and good ...

Have you ever noticed in works of fiction (books, TV, movies) that anyone who states that there is no such thing as evil turns out to be on the side that would be categorized as evil?
