Evil

Ever heard of a gigantic shrimp or a teeny galaxy?

The same words mean different things in different contexts. This means that many concepts are linguistic relativism. Often they need are based on experience and need two extreme polls to define the concepts.

For the missionary being eaten by the cannibal the cannibal was evil. To the cannibal the missionary was a good meal.

Evil does not exist independently of people who live in a society. It is not like a fog that is floating in the air and enters into our brains through our noses; or like a virus that we catch from people sneezing. Evil is a linguistic concept.
