Does evil have to exist so that we can know daily that we are Good? Please read below?

Question

On that note would we ever rid the world of Racisim, Hatred, prjudice, deciet, malice and all things not good? If would this earth be boring, or predicitable?

Answer 1

We cannot get rid of these things, for after all it is only human nature. Within each of us is the power to sin, so these bad things will always be happening. On the other hand, within each of us is the power to do good, so there will always be someone there to fight against these injustices.

Answer 2

I disagree w/ that completely. Thats like sayin u need 2 look at a different race every day 2 be aware of ur own. The world would be a better place w/ out all the malicious, hateful, deceitful people. W/out child molesters & murderers & domestic violence. That world will never be. Unfortunately, if it does we won't be alive 2 see it.

Answer 3

No.

In fact, in the Garden of Eden, we didn't know the difference between good and evil until Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit.

Answer 4

This is a very interesting question. You have a good point but I guess we can always find entertainment in different ways in life, and it doesnt necessarily have to be evil that should provide us the entertainment we need.

Answer 5

Yes: society would probably cease all existance. Study the philosophy of the Yin and Yang.

Answer 6

If there's an up, there's a down... if there's a left, there's a right... if there's a yin, there's a yang.

Which is why the whole idea of "world peace" is pipe dream BS.

Answer 7

Evil exists because the world needs balance, hence ying an yang, you need both in order to make it whole.

Answer 8

I think it would be peaceful and sweet to live in a world where we all could get along with one another.....I don't think it will happen in my lifetime but I hope it happens someday.
