I thought that I was familiar with evil, because I so often came face to face with the victims that had been hurt and traumatized by such evil deeds that I had trouble processing them.
I still cannot wrap my mind around someone abusing an infant. I thought that was the most vile and evil thing that a person could do.

I kinda know what you mean. In 2014, my grand-nephew was beaten to death by his mother's "boyfriend". He was two years old. Now that was Evil with a capitol "E" in my mind, but what followed blew my mind.
In the comments online, at a news article, my sister - the baby's grandmother - just made a comment expressing her sense of loss, and some goofy bitch sailed into her about it, defending that piece of offal that beat a baby to death. My sister was a bit... upset... at that.
Another of my sisters, who knew how I was, called me immediately and told me about it, and helpfully directed me to the post. I proceeded to light that hussy up. I verbally bitch-slapped the piss out of her in the comment section, and then bitch-slapped her again for pissing. I don't suffer fools gladly, and screwing with my family is screwing with ME. It's a hillbilly thing.
I reckon the woman was finished with her sickening commentary. She never came back at me.
Anyhow, the moral of the story is that yes, Evil is out there, but more than that, it usually wraps itself in more evil, and then surrounds itself with even more evil beings. You can't let evil slide when you run into it, but at the same time, it's a fool's errand to go looking for it en-masse, thinking you are going to somehow defeat it entirely. That's God's job, not mine. I'm just not equipped for it.
Yes, that rat turd is still in prison, and yes, I still keep tabs on his release date. He's got a date with destiny when that day comes. That was my defenseless kin that he thought it would be a good idea to torture to death. I don't think he fully understands what torture really is. One day, he will beg to be returned to prison, where he was safe.
Does that make me evil, too? I don't know, and I don't care. Nothing matters, and so what if it did? Balance will come.
