Is he able but not willing? Then he’s malevolent.

This is too simplistic. When animal shelters take in injured dogs and give them health care, the animal has zero concept of human “malevolence”. For all the animal is thinking, it’s thinking that an evil is coming and taking them away to hurt them. But we are only trying to help.

Basically, we might have zero concept of what “true” universal evil is. Maybe eliminating all evil from human society does more harm than good, and creates an even greater evil in the process.

Edit: someone else gave a better example
