The Origin of Evil

Why does evil exist?

One of the great philosophical questions of all time.

Evil exists in a great number of forms. A housewife doing the dishes is actually engaging in a positive action against the forces of evil. Just plain old dirt and everyday grime is a form of evil that we all have to combat. Call that "exterior evil".

We also have to think about the interior evils, and religion has always been very, very, concerned with just that and how to prevent it.

In the Shards, evil is treated in a fashion that it will eventually, via evolution, disappear from the human psyche.

Let's confront this head-on: The cause of evil is basically a question of scattering of energy. Non-directed energy. This is not so much negative desire coupled with negative action, but zero desire coupled with negative action. In other words, since no one really knows what's going on, things just get scattered. And it's often very difficult to pick up the pieces.

Sometimes the way the pieces fall, they take root, and begin to take on a life of their own. Which means that evil has grown in this evolutionary form in a similar way that good has. Things have a tendency to get scattered as time goes on.

Now that we realize (with the help of the Shardal Revelation) just how evil is transmitted from person to person we can begin to work on it to make this planet a truly good place for everyone to live on.
