I believe that evil is a mindset. I think that it is chosen by the person whether or not to be evil and it is chosen by the person how evil to be. I think that being evil is closely tied to being selfish, in a way. Doing something to someone else that benefits you but hurts them is evil. Examples are murder (obvious), any kind of physical pain, blackmail, rumors or gossip, and many other things. I don't think that evil is just put on earth to ruin lives. I feel like a person has to choose to be evil or not. Evil can also have to do with savagery and stuff like that. When you are taken away from the people that are holding back your evil it finally shows itself.
