Why Evil Exists

 

Why does evil exist? More on that below.

 

Does it exist? Yes, it exists in nature, in society, and in supernature, the spiritual realm, and evil is evinced in human behavior as a biological, sociological, cultural, institutional, political, ethical, and spiritual, destructive force.

 

Why does evil exist? I do not know, and perhaps no one but the Father and Mother or Satan and Lera can definitively, exhaustively explain why evil exists.

 

We seem to live in a world that requires the existence of evil plaguing poor, benighted humans in order that being maintained are ontological balances, which allow people to function and heal.

 

 Yin is more evil, and Yang is more good, but an excess or deficiency of either in any soul, community or society contributes to the growth of evil internal to each subject mentioned above. There must be a balance between Yin and Yang for cosmos, harmony and goodness to rule in a person, community or locality.

 

I believe—I intuit this but cannot prove it or give evidence for it—that the good versus evil battle is eternal, and Fate, the One, comprised of Yin-Yang/Being-NonBeing, requires evil, hate, chaos. and destruction so that the world runs at all, and renews itself.

 

The Christians believe that when Jesus comes back, evil in the world will be overthrown for all time, that it will not cease to exist, but it will remain defeated.

 

I am an idiosyncratic Christian, so I think the return of Jesus to earth will vanquish evil here, and make goodness rule here for many thousands of years, but to extend this claim to all worlds forever is a claim which I am not willing to believe in.

 

Why does evil exist? Well, the Divine Couple and their son Jesus, the Holy Spirits, and the Good Spirits want goodness and love to grow in the world, so that their kingdom can grow and expand across the universe, but this can only occur if intelligent, free-willed creatures like human beings will freely to elect to be good.

 

Only if evil exists, and people can choose to go that route, does human choosing to reject evil and make good carry any meaning and significance. We need humans to reason, to feel, to elect freely their options, and to be strong individualists, and the existence of evil and good in the world renders such personal elections and reformations real and sustainable.

 

This is why I believe the existence of evil is real and is necessary, so evil is good in a negative way for the existence of actual evil validates that we exist and our choices matter, really matter, that we suffer real consequences from the good deities for rejecting their guidance and advice.

 

Therefore, ultimate, universal evil cannot be ultimately conquered or permanently eradicated. This in no way lets each agent off the hook, for each life, each choice matters, as we can conquer evil and mostly eradicate in our generation, in our sphere of influence, and that is no small achievement, doable but hard, but the good deities expect no less from us.

 

God warns us not to choose to lie and do evil (they are the same), and we are disallowed by God justifying our living evil lives, that we cannot help but be what we were born as, that it makes no difference anyway, because evil is indestructible and eternal—all of the latter is true but irrelevant regarding our duty to the good deities to lead holy and virtuous lives.

 

Just because Fate, the One, allows evil to exist forever, is not sanction for us to lead evil lives, as we rationalize our misbehavior and poor choices “because it makes no difference anyway, for evil was here before me and will be after me, so my tiny efforts are of no consequence.”

 

Shirking our spiritual and moral duties is unacceptable and there will be consequences for us in this world and in the next—that is God’s response.
