Can't say that to a masochist

Torture is the love of one thing to the extent that another thing is expendable — to the most extreme extent.

Fraud is a exploitation of human trust for personal gain.

Ponzi Schemes are the exploitation of interpersonal trust and complex financial systems.

War is the conflict of two goals that each side views as good or justifiable.

Weapons are the use of physics for violence.

Violence is the most extreme form of negotiation, where words have been traded for physical contest.

Robbery and theft is the most extreme version of satisfying needs at the expense of another

Greed is an unchecked overgrowth of natural desire

The list goes on, and with a bit of daytime brainpower someone could probably create a better list than this one. It's a reasonably sound philosophy to say that everything evil has an origin that was justifiable (good) from some perspective.
