“I had told you earlier that I had one class of really troubled kids. These kids had trouble at home, trouble at school, and trouble with the law. I taught them how to make WEB sites, and they built a great one (http://www.picture-indian.com/). Many of you visited the site, and they got many hundreds of email congratulating them on their work. This literally changed their lives. They learned that they could be good at something. I am happy to say that half the class is now signed up for college, and I am committed to getting the other half signed up before this school year is out.

“I am so proud of the progress that each of these young people has made. In particular I am proud of Dustin, who came into the class with the most baggage.”

That is, someone who causes harm and gets enjoyment out of it is still causing harm for the sake of causing harm. However, someone who gets angry and wants to hurt others for the sake of hurting them is also acting in an evil manner.

However, this also means that greed is not evil, because it is not to cause harm, but to profit.
