Good and evil - depend on our ability to deal with them
Good and evil - a difficult subject on which to reach conclusions, because, on earth, more often than not, nothing is either wholly good or wholly bad; even the best things come with certain disadvantages. Let's just take the arrival of spring. From one point of view, it's wonderful; the light and warmth makes everything open up. But then the bugs also come out: wasps, flies, caterpillars, greenfly, mosquitoes... Let's take technical progress: is it a good or an evil? Any amount of discoveries, which initially brought about tremendous improvements, end up causing catastrophes, because humans are not capable of being cautious and far-sighted and of weighing up the possible consequences! No need to give endless examples; you can see for yourself every day. So, whatever events or conditions you face, there are precautions to be taken. The best things turn out badly for those who are ignorant, because they are not ready to deal with them. Whereas for those who are wise, who know how to work, it is the opposite: they make progress amid the greatest difficulties.
