The Cycle of Good and Evil

There must be evil if there is to be good.

Evil helps bring out the best in people and can impact their lives in such a way they can protect others from evil events and situations. Disease is evil. Good has come in the form of medical discoveries and treatments that have helped society. The "evil" events over the 46 years of my life have made me the person I am today. I have been able to turn "evil" situations and events into positives and have even "paid it forward", something I try to do with all that I am involved in. Pass on what I have learned during difficult and very very difficult times in my life. I also realize I am fortunate that I have the ability to do this, Not everyone is as fortunate and sometimes the "evil" continues, but eventually the cycle is broken by good. I haven't learned this through any sort of organized religion, not at all. It's life, and overtime, over a lifetime, you can see the cycle of good and evil.

You bring out the connection between these two elements quite persuasively here. There does seem to be some truth to this based on the way we talk about these concepts and use them in our everyday life.
