Going back as far as Greek mythology, humans have been fascinated with the concept of evil.

早在希臘神話中，人類對於邪惡的概念就已經很著迷。

And while this kind of fascination is usually concentrated around horror stories, it can also play a role in real life.

And we may be surrounded by people who have hidden dark sides that can be dangerous.

Therefore, it's important to recognize the signs of an evil heart so you don't get taken advantage of by someone with a sinister agenda.

因此，辨識出邪惡心態的跡象是很重要的，這樣你才不會被有險惡目的的人佔便宜。
