Cruelty
It could be the capacity to suspend and set aside our knowledge that others are human beings and are so entitled to our protection and respect but, to see them as objects for pleasure, subjects of power- is human evil in the absolute sense. This is only the appearance of a solution to the problems of evil, because the question now is why anybody would seek to set aside this knowledge, to take part in such a knowing self-deception.
