My contention is that there are two essential modes of power functioning in society, and likely somehow are also operating in nature and supernature too, pointing to the existence of objective morality out there beyond individual or collective moral codes.
When a virtuous person is a person of integrity and love, generally in thought, word and deed, regardless of believing God, or what moral code which she proclaims that guides her living, the positive mode of power, or the power of powerfulness, is the power model she exhibits and displays as she conducts herself daily in the world. This mode of power, which she adheres too in practice, is the power love and loving, abusing none and allow none to abuse her; tyrannizing none and allowing none to tyrannize her, self-realizing and working for a good divinity, all whilst esteeming and loving herself, the origin of her inclination and tendency to esteem and love others.
She may sacrifice her happiness out of the duty to provide care for others, but mostly, she does her duty and seek her personal happiness, all the while teaching the young that if they emulate her, they should be able to flourish and be self-sufficient, growing cosmos, and the kingdom of God in this world.

Evil, be it social, personal, natural or supernatural, is really all about hating the self, hating others, hating God, hating the world, and wishing ill, destruction, pain, death and unhappiness upon all. The evil man operates and wields his negative mode of power, the power of powerlessness, a satanic model of power relations at work in the world.
Under this power model, he tyrannizes, victimizes and abuses those below in the various hierarchical structures (governmental, businesses, social, academic) permeating society those below him and is tyrannized, victimized and abused by those above him.
Under such a wicked personal, social and political dispensation, all are fiercely loyal to the system which owns them, to which they are addicted. They do not individuate as commanded and exhorted to do their their individualistic good deity.
He is a joiner, a pack-dweller who lives second-handedly. He seeks to grow the power of his sick arrangement for Satan and Lera, who above all else tirelessly seek and scheme to grow their way of life, or I should say death, and this useful fool, their flying monkey either unintentionally or militantly strive to grow their malevolent kingdom.
