64. So define evil

and I guarantee you I could find 100 people to say you've done so too broadly and another to say you've done so too narrowly.

You make it sound like it's a clear, well-defined concept that only quibblers like me could take issue with definitionally.

I mean what is evil, what isn't evil has been something we've struggled to define and figure out for our entire existence.

Suffering builds character. SOME level of suffering is probably required for growth, for any sort of meaning.
Certainly too much suffering isn't great, and there are all sorts of people for whom fairness skip town and left them hanging high and dry.

But you need some level of suffering to grow IMO. Otherwise you are just joyful automatons not really living, just existing with a big smile on your face the whole time.

I also think free will implies the ability to be selfish, to harm others, to do "wrong." Otherwise, it's not really free will if you are bound from doing anything that harms anyone else in any way.

So, I ask again, is free will evil? Or do you reject the concept of free will being necessary? Assuming a God for this hypo, should that God only have created perfectly happy creatures, incapable of doing harm to anyone or anything else, but thus lacking free will?
