B EVIL
There is what is skillful and unskillful. While not all unskillful acts are evil, there are certainly unskillful acts that are. The skillful is the various types of goodness.
The cultivation of the skillful and abandoning of the unskillful is a fundamental aspect of Buddhist practice. This requires discerning what is skillful and unskillful, and identifying the skillful and unskillful behaviors in your body, speech, and mind. People are a mixture of unskillful and skillful, so are not just good or bad. What is important is to make the choice and commitment to cultivate the skillful and abandon the unskillful. I can be helpful to identify with wanting to make skillful choices and actions. Most of us are going to make an identity, so it is skillful to make an identity around being skillful.
