Most of us will never do anything particularly evil, but perhaps we’ll always be more capable of it than we imagine. This week, Irish actor Liam Neeson revealed in a film-promotion interview that he had once contemplated committing a racially motivated murder. It has to be the case that many more people than Neeson are capable of doing exactly what he described. Surely, more people are capable of contemplating the evil that Neeson did than enacting the evil that Bundy did. We don’t have any idea how evil we really are; considering it is too hard.
