I think the definition of evil as lack of empathy is a bit simplistic and doesn't tell the whole story. Any definition founded on what someone feels as opposed to what they do is unjust.

I may hate you, but so long as I do you no harm, or fail to act when it would be the right thing to do, then I've committed no evil.
