Evil is Good

Evil is good..

The two ancient sides of the coin, the oldest battle in history, the one that started when Adam took his first breath of heavenly air: evil vs good, light versus darkness, honesty versus deception, its a never-ending battle indeed.

So what else is new, eh?

Here i am right now fighting some evil inside myself, that is disguised as pure logical goodness, the kind that has no spelling mistakes, but once u take your time and give it's logic more thought and compare it to the set of references u have, u can find that it's logic is TOTALLY out of context with logic and what your principles suggest, thus opening a door for sheer snarling evil right up your face.

Now this is exactly the way evil works.. It tells you things you once thought were true, and it lets you cling on to them as if they are your own honor, evil knows that those thoughts and ideas - later on rules that are unchangeable - are wrong, this is why you don't think much while adhering to them. Later on you start preaching them and people believe you the same way you believed yourself, and evil rules the minds of men for decent amount of time by then.

Evil does a huge effort to spread, it searches for your points of weakness and keeps on striking there repetitively till resistance is zero, till the force field wears down, but never completely disappears, there still is always a chance for another fight. Also evil efficiently uses the chances it gets: the moments of your weakness, when u are down, depressed, lonely, day-dreaming a lot about things that cannot come, aimless, desperate, broken.. etc, till the end of the list.

The amazing fact is that goodness should take that same path, if it wants to spread the same way as evil spreads. Goodness must be smart enough to foresee the attacks of evil and prepare to fill up the holes that evil uses. Goodness MUST outsmart evil. But the other amazing fact is that one opens the door to evil and so evil enters just like that! But thats not the case with goodness. With goodness the door gets opened for you and you must get up and pull goodness in! That's the case most of the time, but from the mercy of God is that life-changers open the door and come in all by themselves, but you got to do the effort to keep them in, and maintain the defensive holes closed in the face of evil.

I look around and see that goodness has no means to outsmart a pigeon, no power to bring up a forcefield, and no means to give itself a way into the hearts of masses!

Evil today.. Is really good

When a player is a professional in his game and wins, we say he's GOOD!

When an actor plays his part very well, we say he is GOOD!

When X does his job perfectly the way he wants.. we say X is GOOD!

This way, evil IS good..

I like to think of good and evil purely as creations of Allah swt. I think it's wrong to say that good and evil are battling, at war with each other.

Rather, it's better just to thank Allah for the good, and seek refuge in Him against the evil.

Hmm.. well "seeking refuge" is a form of opposing it..

but the way you say it Amy makes me think that good and evil are co-existing peacefully, and everyone is happy that they are there.. lol.. but i don't think the number of children dying from different reasons around the world can be rescued by just "seeking refuge" from the boogie man evil out there..

Well you might see something as evil but is it really? If those children enter Paradise long before any of us if we even enter because of what they endured here and having faith all the while in Allah... is it really "evil?"

You might think a thing is evil and in it is a great deal of good.

"Wherever ye are, death will find you out, even if ye are in towers built up strong and high!" If some good befalls them, they say, "This is from Allah"; but if evil, they say, "This is from thee" (O Prophet). Say: "All things are from Allah." But what hath come to these people, that they fail to understand a single fact?

Whatever good, (O man!) happens to thee, is from Allah; but whatever evil happens to thee, is from thy (own) soul. and We have sent thee as a messenger to (instruct) mankind. And enough is Allah for a witness.

(An-Nisaa 78-79)
