Sadly but it is true that Evil exists in the heart of man.
There is no evil in any animal. A tiger kills - it hunts for food. It is in its nature to do so and it is the only way it can stay alive. No animal ever attacks unless for one of the two following reasons -
1. for food
2. if it feels threatened.
They go by their primal instincts and follow the law of nature - thou shalt not attack unless it be for food or for thy or thy kinsmans life.
The human race, on the other hand has "evolved" so it can think and analyze.
Sadly, this analysis led many individuals to believe that they should get what they want simply because they exist and have been born one of the elite human race. They feel this mere existence of theirs means they have a right to whatever they want and sadly, being an "evolved" species, they have the brains and ability to take whatever they want from those weaker than them. In the jungle, buliies exist, but they do not continously torture their victims and take pleasure in it. Dunking heads in the toilets is a concept thought out by man to fulfill his huge ego and make him feel better by making others feel bad. The leader of the pack eats first and if food is scarce, some of those lower in rank may go hungry, but the alpha does not hoard the food once he is full just to fulfill his ego and call himself rich while the rest of his pack dies, which sadly, is what some "humans" take pride and pleasure in.
A very close friend of my dad did a paper on some tribals in Africa - the [sarcasm]"uncivilised barbaric"[/sarcasm] races that still exist. They never lock their doors. Everybody helps one another. They do not even have the concept of "rich" and "poor" at all. Whatever they have belongs to their community as a whole. Most of the "civilized" world looks down at them but personally i think they live a better life. Can you even imagine not locking your house if you go to the store down the street?
Also, im a young chap, not even 18 as yet, but never have i seen any animal attack unless threatened. We have a lot of stray dogs here and every year there is a case wherein atleast one child recieves a bite. People blame the dogs but its not their fault. The blasted children trouble them, pulling their tails and whatnot. People stone them and kick out at them but they run away as long as its possible. The case occurs beacuse these darn kids trouble the pups and the pups cannot run away. So the mother attacks and it gives enough warning too - growling for a long time before it even comes near.
And it is always a select group, one of whom gets the bite. The rest of us dont bother the dogs and they dont bother us. I walk by them everyday on the way to school and pass by the same pups and their mother. She used to growl at me, but now that she has seen that i do no harm, she doesnt say anything so long as i mind my own business. My younger brother and his friends play in a park adjoining the road where these pups live. They never have a problem. Their parents have told them not to bother the pups. The pups have been told not to bother the children. They coexist in harmony.
Compare this to the cases of bullying that you hear about. Street gangs who beat up children for no reason except to "be cool". In my opinion, the "uncool" nerdy idiot who is polite to his teachers and elders and people on the street and does not feel the to vandalise or destroy property and does not pick on other weaker kids simply because he is stronger is a much better person.
I am extremely sad about this, but this is what the human race is like. And if this is so, then i'd rather live with the animals in the jungle.
But there is hope yet,
if you can use the gift given to humankind - the same ability to think and analyze that has brought us to this degraded state, the there is still hope. For you can be the beginning of a new race, a new civilisation which does not tread this path. That is the best we can do. All the talk about changing the world is nothing - just talk.
Be the change. Be the new race. Try your best. Trust me - it will be enough.
In my opinion, homo sapiens can be divided into two races -
those that carry evil in their hearts
and those that are carried by the evil in their hearts
The first belong to the humane race and the second belong to the human race, and it is your choice which race you wish to belong to.

Once a dog ran up to me from 100 feet away and pounced on me, when I was 4. So not all animals are free of 'evil'. Or maybe he just wanted to eat me.
As for the rest. It's true. But being peaceful has made us targets.
I've become tired of backing off and having people think that I do it because I am afraid... and this only helps them get fooled into trusting the power of the unjust.
Maybe it's time we defend our own justice.
If they stand in your way, let them know- that you will walk over them.
I should correct that statement. All sane animals are free of evil, if simply because they have not evolved enough to be evil. Rabid animals are not in control of their senses and i am not talking about them. They are innocent by the same logic that lets insane humans get away with murder.
Secondly, where animals are concerned, it is not always possible for us to understand their point of view. What you may not perceive to be a threatening gesture to them, may in reality be a declaration to war according to the language of the animal concerned.
As to the second part of what you say, by no means do i ask you to back off when your honour is at stake, quite the contrary, you should fight and fight to the finish. What i mean is that you should not be the one to pick a fight with someone weaker than you just for the pleasure of watching them suffer. Such sadistic pleasures are what have been degrading the human race, and hopefully people like you and me have realized that will make a difference.
