This is an odd question, but most people have their bad spots and good spots. I've seldom met someone that seemed either purely good or evil to me.
However, tonight I met an evil person in a public meeting. This is maybe the second or third time in my life I've met evil walking, and I'm 66 (I don't socialize a whole lot though). OTOH, I've know quite a few exconvicts (mostly either CNAs and building tradespeople). They seemed/seem just like anyone else, sometimes bad, sometimes good.
I'm not at all sure why I felt that way. It wasn't just the fact that she was scamming the crowd and obviously ready to pounce on the assets of 3 of the nicest people I know. I've met a lot of greedy people, and a lot of self-centered ones. This was just More somehow, but I can't really describe it.
Have you ever had a sudden feeling that someone you met was just plain bad? What signals made you think that? In the long term, were they really bad?
I'm trying to understand my "just got whacked alongside the head" reaction to this woman.
