About evil and goodness

Evil is seen against the backdrop of goodness.

Our sad feelings about the darkness of life's tragedies and sorrows
are an implicit acknowledgement
that we aspire to live
in the light of happiness, goodness, beauty, joy.

The darker the night,
the brighter the stars.*

* Compare with the beautiful hymn, "Be still and know I'm with you"
