WHY what?
Which ways would I exclude?
would you call an accident, causing great harm, evil?
Say a person injured by a sink hole?
What about a small child stabbing you with a knife? Is that evil?
It is for the one it happens to.

Humans have a tendency over the last three thousand years to remove the notion of agency in matters of culpability. To say people are sick rather than guilty leads to the view that humans are like sink holes. In great antiquity inanimate objects were held culpable. The Roman Jurists of the early centuries of the Christian age could no longer understand those laws, but one can observe the attitude in the spontaneous anger of someone who strikes his head on a two-by-four.

Sin can tend to mean error. In other words, as in the present discussion, the point is to avoid those errors which bring the evil of great harm. Even the devil is supposed to be a creature, created as is a stone.

Injustice implies a knowing act, rather than a mere state of affairs or "de facto" circumstance. Since the Greek Political Philosophy. The Greeks, too, distinguished "hurt" from "wrong." From being (legally) wronged.

Evil is meaningless.

You're just admitting you're bellow the responsibility to think. Something boring and common as hell. Thought is nessisary for making laws and filling our minds. The idea that all humans are "subjects" is the work of the 19th century and now it has become you.

I love to bellow in the morning. It gets the yah yahs out.

Why don't you run along and try to think about what "evil" might mean to you, then you can tell me? Until you do the work, I'll just have a laugh at your expence.

Spelling is a necessary skill too. It might mean you have to think first though.
You are clueless about the meaning of "subject" in this context.

"The work of the 19thC" LOL
I think its the way you tell 'em.

Wow, what a thoughtful and comprehensive response.
At least you can spell "idiot". There is hope yet!
