The other day I was asked a question. “Is there a need for both good and evil?” A lot of people said no. They thought that there was only a need for good. At first, I thought the same thing. I mean, who really wants bad things in their life? Not me. But after giving the question some thought, and discussing it with one of my colleagues, I had a different view. I realized something. How can you have a world full of good if there is not evil to compare it to? A complete world of good would have its range of goodness from Very Good to Just Alright. Eventually they would transform into their own scale of good and evil. These people who want a world full of only good are working towards something unachievable. I’m not saying that their work is pointless; the world can always be improved. I have learned that there will always be bad times in life, and rather than run and hide from them, I’d like to accept them and not let them get to me. I just have to know that if evil lurks, then surely goodness does too.
