Goodness And Evil

Goodness is clarity, transparent, as it is.
Evil is opaque, obscure, not as it is.

‘As it is’ is direct seeing.
‘Not as it is’ is interpretation.

Happiness is the relief from suffering,
seeing through interpretations.

Unhappiness is embroiled in conflict,
confusion and disorder.

Why is there evil?
It is wanting to gain.

Why is there goodness?
It is inner peace, with nothing to gain.

Nothing lasts forever, even good and evil,
which are merely designations of light and dark.

Evil is a mind constructed on thoughts.
Goodness is not dependent on the mind.

There are wrathful and peaceful aspects to life;
both are loving kindness,
not to dull us but to keep us sharp.
