Confucius says...


Confucius the veritable sage.
"Until a man lies in his coffin & the final nail is in, no one can be called good or evil"                         

The depth of Evil & Perversity a man can descend to, is as deep & dark, as the Fire of his Love & intensity of his Sacrifice is glorious & inspiring. Both being expressions of similar overpowering passions - only diametrically directed.
One is thus as capable of supreme sacrifice & limitless love as is one of depraved perversion & dastardly acts of supreme Evil. 
No one other than creatures (or beings) of non-human origin would be ordained with  complete purity (or total pervasion).
Man is inherently possessed of a dual nature of good & evil. 
Whichever passion predominates in one's conscious and subconscious psyche,  would determine if darkness or glory is manifested through one's acts whilst alive.
Thus till the day a person is completely disabled (as in death); no one should be predetermined as completely good or totally evil. As a man is capable of extreme evil, equally capable is he of attaining unimaginable heights of glorious nobleness.
Thus it would be prudent that one refrain from pre-concluding on any living person's status - if he be good or evil. That advice from the Chinese wise man Confucius, often quoted when wisdom is referenced.
Thus is not Judgement rightly reserved for the Creator, since one's integrity or infamy could only be determined posthumously?
To live or actuate an agenda which is counter to or entirely different as professed to be is called lying. How many of us are guilty of such?
It is not of much consequence if we only are ordinary men & women, where even if we have evil agendas we end up doing the devil's work, ultimately harming only ourselves.
If one were however in a position whereby one's conduct, acts, and speech would influence, incite, motivate, encourage others who look to one as a leader, a shepherd, a parent, a teacher; & if one were then to adopt & propagate agendas contrary to what one has sworn to uphold i.e. values of benevolence, honesty, fairness & of universally accepted truths; would it not then be fair to say one is acting evilly? 
And even before one is disabled permanently by Death is it not fair then to call one EVIL?
Be wise thus when deciding whose ideals one imitates
