an "evil" act is just a powerful action that challenges societal norms. for example, rejecting bluepill dogma and pursuing your own aesthetic values might be labeled "evil" by a society built on slave morality.

similarly a moral action, as defined by slave morality, would be one that aligns with obedience, self sacrifice, and conformity. like turning the other cheek and suppressing your will, instead of embracing it.

Evil is killing yourself

Depends on how you choose to define it, morals are subjective.

>Consequentialism: the outcome of the actions, such as causing suffering or positive wellbeing. Also to what extent, for example prioritizing the overall population or individuals. Utilitarianism is an example.
>Deontology: an action is good if it adheres to moral duties and rules, and is bad if it breaks them.
>Virtue Ethics: each individual should strive to be virtuous, with character being most important in ethics. Eudaimonia is the highest good you can attain. It involves practical wisdom, ethical decision making, courage and generosity.
>Natural Law Theory: Good and bad is grounded in human nature and what we observe in the natural order. Actions that align with nature and promote flourishing is good, those that don't are bad.
>Social Contract Theory: Morality comes from agreements within a society, actions that promote harmony and cooperation are good. Those that undermine social structures are bad.
>Existentialism: individual freedom, search for meaning, and responsibility. People who take authentic actions and responsibility for the consequences are good. Hypocrisy, denying yourself, and negligence following the aftermath of your choices are bad.
>Pragmatism: Overall human progress is good, and making practical decisions towards the world and human well being is of utmost importance. Ineffective and harmful actions that hinder human progress are bad.
>Care Ethics: Empathy and human relationships are good, exploitation, uncaringness and destroying relationships is bad.
>Discourse Ethics: Communication and rational agreement to reach a consensus for the groundwork of morality. Manipulation and coercion is bad.

These ideas are not exclusive and can overlap.

Evil = out to hurt you in some way for their satisfaction
Moral action = doing somthing that helps / safes somthing or someone but at a cost
