Evil

Evil is an invention. Just as good is. It does not exist in nature. It probably did not exist in man before it was used as a means of justification. Every act is justifiable by the person doing the act at that time. Every act. Stopping evil is the justification for most of the evil in the world. If evil does not exist, then perhaps good does not exist either. Their definitions are culturally dependent. Without good and evil where does that leave us in the world? As Kurt Vonnegut said: Welcome to the monkey house.
