But we cannot see clearly, and we honestly don't know.I also take evil seriously but I do not believe that evil is an entity or a force unto itself, if you will.
I think all evil is a distortion, corruption, or perversion of basic life impulses-- or, in many cases, Good.
I look at Good/Evil like Light/Dark or Heat/Cold.
Light and Heat are energy, a force. Dark/Cold are not forces or anything, really. They are the absence of energy.
Likewise, Evil is not a thing-- it is an absence (or distortion) of a thing (Good).
I know, I know--- there are horrendous evils in the world that make it hard to NOT believe in a devil, or Satan, or Evil as a force. But I believe that if we step back and look objectively at the causes of such evils, we'd see things more clearly.
It's made infinitely more difficult on purpose and by design.
There are other dimensions in my consideration.
Djinns really exist, and the rest. It's a deep pit which I consider, reason to have a bottom.
It's too much for a mortal mind. I don't form beliefs based on hopes.
If I did that I'd keep quite happy. I aim to be fully open and honest with myself.
No blind faith though.
