If Evil is just the reverse of Life, then it stands to reason that to do evil is to go about living your life the wrong way!
Looking at every event in life, it seems to me that you just have to strike a balance, that everything in this world is here for man, but to waste or to be greedy causes the balance to be offset and reaps consequences.
For example;
Too much love becomes obsession
Too much hate becomes war
To continually do good arouses suspicion
To care too much becomes interfering
To continually do bad causes contempt
To not care at all causes depression
Imagine never knowing anything bad, never having sadness, always being able to afford what you need, never knowing pain.
Would you really appreciate how good life was?
Without night there would be no such thing as day
Without death there would be no such thing as life
Without Evil there would be no such thing as Good
Appreciate the life you have, strike a balance, take risks but also take care. If you suffer, then learn from it.Take the negatives and turn them into positives.
Do the best you can and enjoy!
