I wouldn't equate egocentricity with evil. Just misplaced priorities. However, everyone really tends to put themselves first, because most beings wish to do what will benefit them the most. If helping others benefits more than destroying others, then the being is considered "good". OTOH, if destroying others benefits more than helpinng, then the being is considered "evil".

Man, I really am waxing philosophical tonight, aren't I? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
