The Problem of Evil

Paper Summary:

This paper argues that good and evil create a yin and yang sort of effect that many believe is necessary to understand life and its balance. The author points out that it is difficult to prove what is evil and what is good; there are many different opinions, depending on the circumstances. The paper reflects that, to remove totally the problem of evil, everyone on earth would have to be destroyed, which would be pointless.

From the Paper:

"The opposing opinion, of course, is that evil need not remain with humanity. The arguments here will respond to those listed above. As to the first argument, many believe that evil and good are not actually opposing forces. They are not forces at all. Instead, they are simply words that are put on actions and ideas, depending on what the majority of that society agrees upon. There are many places that do not have the same rules and regulations as other areas, but that does not make one of these places evil and the other place good. It only makes these places different from one another. It is the same with good and evil. They are side by side, not opposed to one another, and the only difference between the two is based in the perceptions and opinions of those around them."
