Evil starts when you treat other people as things. There are perhaps worse crimes, but they begin when you treat other people as things.

Classically, very few people have considered that cleanliness is next to godliness. A rank loincloth and hair in an advanced state of matted entanglement have generally been the badges of office of prophets whose injunction to disdain earthly things starts with soap.
