What is Evil?
Evil is that which has no power of its own. Evil is darkness, a negation of light. Its power is in us, in our fear of it, in that we consider it a "something" worth responding to.
Evil is fostered on every spoonful of worries, every glance of trepidation, every concession we make from our lives to acknowledge its threat -- until it rises brazenly to attack us with our own instruments.
Stoop to conquer Evil and you will only join it in its mud. Against Evil, you must march on the clouds, never looking down, climbing ever higher, until you reach a brilliant, blinding light -- a light that leaves no crevice for darkness to hide.
Against that light, Evil melts in surrender, having fulfilled its purpose of being. For, in the beginning, darkness was made to squeeze out the inner light of the human soul. A light that knows no bounds.
