Corrupt or Broken?

Does evil exist? Is it inevitable? What is evil? Is it not just an absence of good? Hmmm Interesting hey? To see good in everyone- not an easy task. But is there evil? For the sake of interest... I grabbed the definition of evil off Dictionary.com

-Adjective 1. morally wrong or bad; immoral; wicked: evil deeds; an evil life. 2. harmful; injurious: evil laws. 3. characterized or accompanied by misfortune or suffering; unfortunate; disastrous: to be fallen on evil days. 4. due to actual or imputed bad conduct or character: an evil reputation. 5. marked by anger, irritability, irascibility, etc.: He is known for his evil disposition. (This is just the adjective. It is also listed as a noun, adverb, and idiom.)

Evil just maybe, is simply... the absence of good. Through circumstances, sadness, pain, and hate- we build walls. We block our hearts. Are we capable of being completely corrupt? Or is there an element of good in each of us? A part of us, that can't stop loving. That part of us, could be nearly undetected...but still remains. The sun shines through the clouds, and for just a moment... everything is right. So where does that leave this debate? Nowhere. We are broken people. Can we put the pieces back together? It is sort of like black vs. white. But we all live in the gray.
