Evil - what is bad for some may be good for others

10/20/2022

What is bad for some may be good for others. Some beings can live in fire without being burned, so fire is not something bad for them. Poison or the venom of a cobra is deadly for humans, while for some animals it is harmless. Even more simply, take the case of a patient in hospital. His eyes are sore and light hurts them. Light is good for all of us, but for him it is harmful. We could then say that what human beings call evil is not necessarily so. It may be threatening to them for the time being, because they are still weak or ill, but this is simply a reflection of their personal conception of good and evil. Others, like the initiates, come to a different conclusion, because having learned to harness and use evil; it has become an asset for them.
