Ditto. There are things that I, personally, would call evil, but really, it's just a label I attach to certain things. I could go into why I experience it that way (it has to do with the Unity of Consciousness and how the victim and the perpetrator are, in fact, one and the same Consciousness, playing a game with Itself), but I don't want to confuse the issue. Evil is not a "thing", nor is good a "thing". And I will add here: In my experience. (And for the record, I have, indeed, experienced all manner of things that people might fairly call "evil", so I'm not just spouting off from some ivory tower. I've been a victim of crimes and abuses of all sorts, as well as a perpetrator of same, because I was not self-aware enough to refrain from those patterns.)
I also agree with CFT about the psychology of manipulative people, etc. Some people develop this trait because they find out early on that it works for them. There are a lot of behaviours that I think are destructive to relationships and ultimately disempowering, and I'd consider manipulative behaviour to be that in most cases, because it's rooted in fear and insecurity, and that's never a good place from which to act. A manipulator does it because they don't believe they can get what they need any other way. It's a pretty weak position and not a nice way to live.
May the light surround you, may you be blessed. May the light surround us, may we be blessed. May love and light surround us all, and may we all be healed and blessed. And so it is, and so it shall be, now and ever after.
