The expression which men have given to the force

Evil in many of its manifestations may well appear relative, but in one respect an unqualified evil may be postulated, namely as a lack of respect for life, an unwillingness to "look back at" life, a submission ultimately to nothingness. If qualified evil or subjective evil is the force which hinders me totally, that is destroys/reduces me to worthlessness, then logically unqualified evil is the force which seeks to reduce all life to that condition. Evil can be thus understood as the force of universal deterioration. The will to enhance my own life at the expense of another's is not necessarily "evil" although it will be "evil" for my victim.
If evil is f universal disintegration, then in manifests phone number list itself not primarily as power or even the abuse of power, but in a lack of respect for the differentiation which has taken place in the universe and which has taken us out of non-being, hence the deeply embedded notion of evil as the power of darkness and goodness as the power of light. Power can only be measured in respect of possible loss and acquisition.
Of power in relation to another force, and this other force is then the enemy. In the struggle of life, the living entities which struggle are seeking to impose their harmony on the world, to make the world a more comfortable place for them, from the breeding bacteria all the way to the arguing man and they can only do so by weakening, often to the point of destroying, something else to ensure their own benefit. Harmony arises out of violence: one of the primal paradoxes of life.
