The globally recognised ambassadors of evil, I think, have always been Adolf Hitler & Genghis Khan.
𝐀𝐃𝐎𝐋𝐅 𝐇𝐈𝐓𝐋𝐄𝐑
Leader of the Nazi PartyAdolf Hitler was the central figure in the story of The Holocaust*, and was a dictator of Nazi Germany. He wanted to get rid of Jews, because he had been informed (which wasn't true anyway) that Jews had betrayed the country. According to the Nazis mentality, removing Jews from the world would have saved Germany. They had murdered around six million Jews from Europe occupied Germany, which was about two third of the Jewish population.
Also, Hitler was principally, and alone, responsible for starting World War II. Huge and sinful and immoral, no?
Not going to explain everything here, so if you're interested to know more, there's numerous videos and articles and websites available on the internet. Search it up, it's never too late to gain knowledge!
*The Holocaust was the genocide of European Jews during World War II.

Former Khagan of the Mongol EmpireGenghis Khan (aka Chinggis Khan) was the founder and the first khan of the Mongol Empire. He lived for sixty five years, and in that span of time, he was responsible for the deaths of an estimated 40 million people, which represented around 11% of the world population, during his time, in the 13th century.
The irony is, when he was born, he was said to be of divine origin, because he had a clot of blood in his hand, signaling that there was an important spiritual connection to him. But that's beside the point.
The most important thing about this person is, how he managed to kill such a huge number of people. There have also been many theories, one of them being: he killed a specific 7 digit number that I can't remember (I'm sorry), in just an hour, which only meant that he had to kill ~2500 people in a minute, on average. That's some next level stamina & and men's strength is usually measured by the amount of kids he's able to make (which is absurd ‘cause women do all the work; men don't have to remove a watermelon from a hole as small as a bottle cap?), but yeah, whatever.
The interesting thing is, he had four primary wives, who ruled over, around 400 other women Genghis Khan liked to have in his harem* (only 44 wives and concubines are documented, though). 400 was a huge number and it was difficult to manage all of them, which led to the division of this harem into four sub-harems called “ordos,” and each mistress had their own rank. Genghis Khan would visit several of them every night. So, he had a huge number of children. He had 8-10 main successors, both female and male, but the rest of the kids (he made approx 200 newbies) also had the same DNA as him. The dynasty he created was so huge, it's said that there's still 1 man in every 200 men, who has his DNA, in his Y chromosome. I don't know why it's only men, and not women, but I guess it does make sense.
He was one interesting man, which isn't a compliment at all.
Harem* are domestic spaces that are reserved for the women of the house in a Muslim family.
But, what had made them so evil?
After reading a lot about them through books and articles etc, one thing common about both these men was, they had a rough childhood. A really harsh one.
Adolf’s father, Alois, was a drunkard and often hit him till he lost consciousness. He was very abusive till Adolf turned 6-8 years old. There was no love between them, but Adolf always honored his father. That's what a parent is to a kid, right? No matter how bad a human is, his or her kid would always honor them.
Alois died soon, when he was waiting for his wine or something to arrive. Klara, Adolf's mother, loved him dearly. But he had been nothing but a problem to her in his teenage, when he started getting bad grades, and had first molested another child. He loved Klara deeply, but she died when he was 18.
Growing up, he wasn't surrounded by anything or anyone who loved him, except for his mother, who died too. He didn't know what love was, he was never taught that, and when one isn't taught something, he would never know the existence of that thing.
I think that's why he became the person he was. It wasn't that there was no love inside of him, it wasn't that he was incapable of loving, but he had just not ever experienced it and had never known of it being a thing. He was surrounded by cruelty all the time, growing up, which naturally made him the man who took many lives of innocent people.
I'm not saying he was a good person, and am totally not giving excuses of why he was evil. He was evil, and his deeds are unforgiving, nothing and no one can change that, so please do not confuse my words.
From an early age, Genghis was forced to contend with the brutality of life on the Mongolian Steppe. Rival Tatars (rivals of Chinggis’ father) poisoned his father when he was only nine, and his own tribe in his teenage years, rival clans abducted both he and his young wife, and Genghis spent time as a slave before making a daring escape.
(The paragraph above is all copy pasted from Google. I was exhausted, I'm sorry :”)),
Again, his childhood too, wasn't exactly all cupcakes & glitter.
These cruel hardships both men had gone through, during their childhood, were what had deeply affected them & their hearts & their personas. People don't lie when they say “A home is one's first school” because homes really are the first school of anyone in their life. If someone's parents or grandparents or great-grandparents or any of the ancestors have had a past and they weren't exactly the kindest of people, by which I mean they were cruel and all that, there are high chances that the person today will have those same traits. Maybe you haven't seen them in a person who actually has had a rough past, making you think that their history doesn't matter, when it really does. Maybe the monster inside of them has not woken up yet; maybe it will awaken in his or her offspring instead. But it will, because humanity is dying. It will die.
It also doesn't mean that only the people who have had a bad history will turn evil. Like I mentioned in the previous chapter, everyone has a war within themselves. The game is played by the angel and the devil in us, and who wins is what we become. I think that's the reason why many people are getting into yoga and meditation. You're incapable of thinking just how much you can control your brain and your senses and are able to make right decisions. It's the distractions today, especially the internet, which has made us lose control over our mind and our senses. It's not like the brain has a brain of its own. He can't make decisions by himself; when he has no-one who controls him, he goes crazy, and when he does, we do too, killing humanity at that very moment.
