I'll give you 10,000 dollars if you can answer this question and in the process proving it.

WHAT IS EVIL AND WHY?

EVIL is NOT good! Good is NOT evil. There ya go!

Self "ishness"

Proof = remove this "ishness" from the Earth and you have a perfect planet.

to live is evil

Probably perturbations in our consciousness from the lower order of our brains. Like the place where the involuntary stuff is, tied into some serious shit. Like the reward system our body has, serious shit not to be fucked with.

Some of these perturbations can express themselves in ways that are likely shunned in our society.

Also, one could to take into account our tendency to project our inner struggles on to the outer world, to have a safe place to work on it (like on a forum).

In a literal sense, I agree with your perspective. It has a lot of substance.

WHAT IS EVIL AND WHY?

The theory that thought is merely a movement in the brain is, in my opinion, nonsense; for if so, that theory itself would be merely a movement, an event among atoms, which may have speed and direction but of which it would be meaningless to use the words 'true' or 'false'.
C.S. Lewis

If there is no God, then all that exists is time and chance acting on matter. If this is true then the difference between your thoughts and mine correspond to the difference between shaking up a bottle of Mountain Dew and a bottle of Dr. Pepper. You simply fizz atheistically and I fizz theistically. This means that you do not hold to atheism because it is true , but rather because of a series of chemical reactions… … Morality, tragedy, and sorrow are equally evanescent. They are all empty sensations created by the chemical reactions of the brain, in turn created by too much pizza the night before. If there is no God, then all abstractions are chemical epiphenomena, like swamp gas over fetid water. This means that we have no reason for assigning truth and falsity to the chemical fizz we call reasoning or right and wrong to the irrational reaction we call morality. If no God, mankind is a set of bi-pedal carbon units of mostly water. And nothing else.
Douglas Wilson

The atheist can appeal to nothing absolute, nothing objectively true for all people, it is just mere opinion enforced by might. The Christian appeals to a standard outside himself/herself in which truth and qualitative values can be made sense of.
Peter Huff

My argument against God was that the universe seemed so cruel and unjust. But how had I got this idea of just and unjust? A man does not call a line crooked unless he has some idea of a straight line. What was I comparing this universe with when I called it unjust? If the whole show was bad and senseless from A to Z, so to speak, why did I, who was supposed to be part of the show, find myself in such a violent reaction against it?... Of course I could have given up my idea of justice by saying it was nothing but a private idea of my own. But if I did that, then my argument against God collapsed too--for the argument depended on saying the world was really unjust, not simply that it did not happen to please my fancies. Thus, in the very act of trying to prove that God did not exist - in other words, that the whole of reality was senseless - I found I was forced to assume that one part of reality - namely my idea of justice - was full of sense. If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never have known it was dark. Dark would be without meaning.
C.S. Lewis

If the solar system was brought about by an accidental collision, then the appearance of organic life on this planet was also an accident, and the whole evolution of Man was an accident too. If so, then all our present thoughts are mere accidents - the accidental by-product of the movement of atoms. And this holds for the thoughts of the materialists and astronomers as well as for anyone else's. But if their thoughts - i.e., Materialism and Astronomy - are mere accidental by-products, why should we believe them to be true? I see no reason for believing that one accident should be able to give me a correct account of all the other accidents. It's like expecting the accidental shape taken by the splash when you upset a milk-jug. It should give you a correct account of how the jug was made and why it was upset.
C.S. Lewis

I seek not your money. Give praise to Whom it is due.

Because when Alive, you learn what it is to love and hate and as much as we love to be alive - we hate to say good bye.

All things perish from the earth.

Therefore the loss of something is evil. It is merely the yang to the yin, black of the white, etc.


----------------------

Just giving my 2 cents here. Nothing perishes by the way. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. Energy just transforms to another form. There is no loss in life. Only loss in the mind.

Love and hate are also labels. Love is minimal hate and hate is minimal love.

The world is an illusion. Illusion doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It exist, but not in the way the mind says it does. What the mind labels as love is not love. Love is unconditional. What is love in the mind is conditional. I will love you as long as you meet my expectations and demands.Couples promise to love one another til death do them part but what happens ? They divorce and hate each other and why ? Because of conditions. Love in the mind is just likes and dislikes.

WHAT IS EVIL AND WHY?

You are evil, I am evil. You are love, I am love. We are, just as evil is, exactly what we define ourselves as.

WHAT IS EVIL AND WHY?

Another thing is good is defined by it's opposite. Good is not independent for it is dependent on the existence of bad or evil. So both are necessary. So many religious people desire a world without evil or bad. That is impossible. Good and evil exists together as one.Like I said good is minimal evil and evil is minimal good. The mind deals in opposites. Light is defined by it's opposite -darkness.

A tall man is defined by the existence of a short person and vice versa. The mind compares as I shared the mind is in duality. and life is non dual.

WHAT IS EVIL AND WHY?

ERROR!!

GOOD IS YOUR VERSION OF YOUR TRUTH!!!

NOT "THE TRUTH"!!!!

ERROR!!!

You can insert any version of "The Truth" into the side of good, and it becomes the opposite of evil.

an Opposite Energy.
