Some say that evil begins by going against God's will, that He is the source of good and has revealed His standards for human behavior. Going against these standards is sinful. Some also believe that Satanic forces are a source of evil.
Non-religious explanations begin with the idea that nature is neither good or bad. Individuals and societies down through history have tried to determine better ways to behave so we all can survive and have satisfying lives. Many moral standards are agreed upon to enhance life. When we are too selfish and neglect or harm others, our behavior can lead to immorality. Individuals and society suffer.
Often, it is easier to see evil in others, but we need to recognize if and when it begins to creep into our lives. Perhaps it is a coincidence, but by reversing evil, we discover life as it should be.
