In this world..... It seems that's not the case elsewhere.

Evil comes in many forms. Survival at someone else's expense is just one way that evil may manifest in this physical world.

There must be a number of texts explaining the philosophical side of creation and why good and bad (for want of better words) co-exist closely. I've read one account, followed it but couldn't put it into simple words of my own. I could only just get my head around the teacher's explanation let alone try to pass it on the way I do concerning other principles!

There is no hierarchy, though, as suggested above. That's a concept we humans use and it's a similar with so-called higher and lower levels. As usual we're stuck with our crude spoken/written words that don't work to describe situations where there are neither spoken nor written words, where communication is by thought, telepathically.

I have to agree with ImthatIm

Bobjob,

Evil morphs into many forms. Survival makes this possible. Fortunately the ego is there to help us desire many of those forms….survival being the most basic. It is what reminds us that we are separate from others….the realization of our aloneness.

Two functions of the hand: it can reach out to take…it can reach out to give….

Which is better ?

Does it matter how evil originates or changes?

And that's a fortunate thing, you think? We must see matters very differently from one another, I have to say.
