Do repressed feelings breed evil?

That depends. Its not immoral to be sexually active with a consenting partner who is legally and ethically able to give consent. It would be immoral to do that with someone other than the person you have promised to be faithful to. \n\nI do believe repressed feelings can lead to a variety of ills and in some cases, say you are holding back a feeling of anger with a desire to rape, you need professional intervention to help to keep you from harming others. \n\nHere's an example. Say you are the male minister of a church and you are married to a female. To her you have promised to be faithful, however that is a promise that you are not able to keep because you are actually not heterosexual. So you lie and cheat and seek out what you are truly attracted to, your own gender. That is an immoral situation, not because you are seeking out your own gender but because although the relationship you are having with your own gender is consentual and you are both of an age to be able to give consent, you are lying to someone else that you have promised to only be with. However that is not evil, its simple immorality. \n\nNow say your level of self hatred about your true nature is so intense that not only do you lie and cheat, but you also spread your self hatred into society at large, targeting those who's very nature you share. Your work to discriminate against and cause emotional and psychological harm to a particular group of society by its nature is evil because its based on your repressed feelings and not on the public reasons you state. In your repression of your true self, you have made a ministry of repressing others.

Repression and expression are normal. Repression of one's deepest desires is called a fantasy. Fantasies and dreams are an integral part of coping with day to day mundane occurrences. Expression of those desires is an award of sorts, and can become addictive. The more expressed one becomes, the more often they express the wrong things at the wrong time and then have to cope with trying to repress those urges again. Otherwise, absolute expression of the self will eventually put everyone in a situation where someone else is going to repress them anyways.

Anger, resentment etc. all these negative emotions are only temporary. Love is forever. Love is shining through us no matter how bad we may feel about ourselves. Let go and be the love, revenge and retribution are totally unnecessary. Love can burn away all past transgressions!

There's a good majority, Mixed with the created hormonal emotions from the processed food we eat, of humans that  define their reality in pain and suffering. They can't ever be happy. And their thoughts and Ideas, which are quite subjective, of what a perfect world should be, is always wanting to be put into effect. Like Hitler. His perfect world consisted of only blonde-haired blue-eyed germans. He was also beaten severly as a child, and i'm guessing a bit repressed. There are a lot of factors that go into it. Fear leads to anger. anger leads to hate. hate to suffering. It's true. Perphaps the key to fear is reverse paranoia. Instead of everyone expecting everyone to do wrong unto them, perhaps if they expected only the best from them. It's my personal experience that thoughts, whatever they may be, good or bad in perception, that they'll come to life and be seen most by the mind of that who thinks most about it. Your brain has a way of blocking out things it sees regularly from your memory. Only things that are of perceived importance, (things being thought of often) stay in memory, or in notice, on sight. Awareness is created by change. Things that are normal occurances always blend in. Therefore if you make a note of thinking most of good positive things, you'll find that you'll become a good positive person in essence. Likewise if you define your reality through narrowminded beliefs and generalizations, and only feel reality though existance in pain, always paranoid around those whom you don't know personally, then yes, you'll become old from the stress, twisted, maladjusted, and another force generating more negative energy for the world to pick up. Good begets good. Evil begets evil. If the world is to have full and thorough peace within it. There's going to have to be a LOT of accepting going on. Personally, I don't believe that'd be very possible due to the very natures of certain personalities. I believe everything must balance. There is no all good or all evil. Good wouldn't be good without evil. People cannot live without killing and consuming another live being or object. Whether it be plant or animal, the world was destined to always have some form of evil or another in it. I believe it's just the balance of society and of the universe. Otherwise, it'd just be our ego's driven by emotions telling us that death and dying and killing is bad or wrong. Our emotions tell us that, but universally, you'll notice the universe completely indifferent to all emotion. Perphaps just a mechanism to keep us alive, just like lust is a mechanism to keep us reproducing. If it wasn't for our minds ability to believe anything and to perceive purpose, i think we'd all go insane for being like puppets in the grand scale scheme of things, being strong along by our emotions and feelings towards certain things, embedded in our genetics and brains to make it all but most difficult to do anything but what the brains automated reaction had in mind. All in all, stepping out of human persona, and perception of derived purpose, in the grand scheme of things, without human aspect of good or evil, one could possibly say everything is perfect as is. But somewhere somehow, perphaps this is just a good form of entertainment to another entity larger than ourselves, or perphaps our perceptions. The beat goes on da-da-doom-da-doom-da-da. It's going to continue whether we like it or not, so we may as well know our roles and shut our mouths. That's my 2 cents.

I think I understand your question, but clarify it for me please. Are you asking if karma has put the manipulated person in that position (to feel what it is to be manipulated) because of a past bad deed ? Or if the manipulator will feel the payback of doing the manipulating ?\n\nBecause whether you like it or not, the answer may be yes to both cases. Karma is sometimes a smack to the back of the head, as if to say "Well?  Have you learned something here ?.

yes...contrary to popular opinion.\n\ntwo wrongs can make a right.\n\nbut that this may only occur if the perceived "two wrongs" lead each of the perceived wrongs or wrong doers (unless one) into a greater fullfillment and realizations of what is perceptually right.\n\nhypothetical example..(and using myself as the wrongdoer).\n\ni curse(or slap) at you. you curse(or slap) at me. we each realize the misunderstanding (in relationship) which created the cursing(and hitting) was because we each had different perceptions. but after cursing and slapping one an other with fear (at the loss of what it was we valued in realization and relationship) ... was opened the possibility for us to realize why we cursed and slapped and then realized that our perceptions and values are actually similar.\n\nhappens all the time....people take lefts and rights into wrongs and rights (as are perceived) everyday....and at the end of the day....go home to realize what it is all for..?\n\nso that with the greater realizations....patience and acceptance become possible. rest is granted.\n\n\nbe well

You are not a bad person. What you are talking about is related to our human nature. Our bodies and minds are designed to be attracted to: pleasure, status, approval of others, comfort, and other things of that nature. We are designed to try to avoid: pain, danger, discomfort, work, etc. \n  The trouble, of course, is that some of the things we are attracted to, will in the short term or long term cause us pain or suffering if we do them too much or sometimes even once. Likewise, things we are programmed to avoid are necessary to do in order to get more important long term rewards. As, if we are an adult and don't work, we will not have the money we need to pay rent or buy food.\n  What you are experiencing is that you are getting some kind of rewards from doing things that will cause you to experience suffering. What you call "building up the strength" by "hitting rock bottom" is that when you experience enough suffering that the severity of the suffering or the total amount of it is greater than the rewards you get, the suffering plus your will power is able to keep you from doing the behavior again. I have experienced this many times.\n  The solution is to build up your will power to the point that you don't need to experience the suffering to not do what is harmful to you. One of the secrets of this to start out small. Deny your self little pleasures that are unimportant. Do little things that are good for you but unpleasant to do. The more that you do this, the more will power you will have. Then build on this by doing these things but that are a little more difficult. The more that you do these things the more will power you will have and the more confidence you will have in your ablity to choose your behavior according to what is best for you.\n  Some people have parents that create artificial "rock bottoms" for us by punishing us when we do things that that are harmful for us. They also help by increasing our rewards when we do things that are good for us. If that was not the case for you, don't blame your parents, blame the teachers and media that say that if we punish our children it will harm them psychologically.\n  I know these things from personal experience. The fact that you recognise the problem, want to change, and have the courage to ask this question; shows how mentally healthy you are.\n  Also, I have found that  asking God to help me with this has been a big help. Remember that He loves us and that before He created the universe He had already decided to create you with your special talents and abilities because you are exactly the person  the world needs to become perfect!

No one is born evil.\n\nYour idiocyncracies are taught to you.\nImpatience, abuse, temperment... All learned.\nFortunately, we can be cured of it through years of therapy.\n\nLove, support, and success are also learned.\nBut it's easier to understand and accept.

I used to torture and maim small animals when I was younger.  I never sought counseling for fear I would be put on a predator list.  What I do when I have my urges is shiite in a bag and breathe deeple for several minutes.  You should try it - it helps me!

Naturally, people are inclined to feel guilt as well as the other emotions in reaction to things that people may do. In the case of being two-faced, the person would feel bad due to the role of lies in their relationship. Since s/he is willing to talk behind the person in a different manner when they are unaware of it, it causes the person to feel as though they have lied about their feelings to that person. This would therefore bring about the giult, or feeling bad, of the two-faced person.

Freud would agree with you. I don't specifically. \nI mean I don't think God creates babies, but some are born with the genetic material to be pretty durn evil. And if not purely genetic, I don't think a child's/a person's evilness is not only due to lack of necessities, but other things as well.

Counter-Example: \n\nSo if I'm so angry with someone that I feel hate towards them and want to kill them, should I simply go ahead and murder them -- since I've already sinned and wanted them dead in my heart? \n\nOf course not.\n\nLooking at the context of the verse (Matthew 5:28), Jesus was dealing with men (Pharisees) who commonly thought it was okay to look lustfully at a woman as long as he didn't physically touch her. They made a distinction; God doesn't. He doesn't think it's okay to "use" someone internally, while just avoiding the pretense of sin on the outside.\n\nIt's a matter of the heart. God wants a good heart -- good motivations toward other people -- not JUST good external behavior.
