In my mind there is very little evil in the world.

Most people or things described as evil are in fact due to selfishness, misunderstanding, greed, sociopathalogical faults etc.

To me evil implies a malevolent, conscious, dark and deliberate action or design.

There's not much of that about. I can think of only a few; Adolph Hitler being the prime example.

What most people consider evil today (with stupid comments like "Axis of Evil") are just selfish, arrogant, greedy people or states, or those you consider your enemies.
