Dear Reader, what do you know about wickedness?
Let me tell you about wickedness…
Most people think to the extreme when asked to give instances of wickedness. When you ask them what wickedness is, some might jest. They might give you some humorous words, but wickedness starts with some of the little things we selfishly do and say.
Knowing someone loves you and then manipulating that feeling to your selfish interests. While this is extremely callous and mean, it is also being wicked.
Not being kind enough to others. Not taking other people’s interests and feelings into consideration. Thinking only of oneself, this is the primary form of wickedness and it is the root of every other form of wickedness. Think back throughout time and history; every single act of war has risen from a lack of consideration and compassion.
When Nigerian lecturers deliberately give you 69.9999, knowing how desperately you need that A, that, my dear reader, is wickedness. When you know someone is hungry, and you send them to buy food and don’t give them out of it, that is wickedness.
On a more serious note, when your mom or dad calls you, and you ignore their calls, that is wickedness. You don’t even know how much time they have to live. That phone call could have been and still might be their last one.
When you inflate the costs of school materials and dues for your parents, knowing that they have five more kids to provide for, that is wickedness.

It’s present in the little things as well. When a baby offers you candy, and you refuse, that is wickedness. When a baby smiles at you, and you don’t smile back, that is extremely heartless.
You don’t have to be Ted Bundy or Adolf Hitler to be evil. It begins with the little and supposedly unimportant things.
