So what do we do about evil? Evil is not an absolute thing. Think of the slave owners, the Nazis, the royals who abused their subjects, the greedy capitalists. They didn’t think they were evil.
What saves us from evil? Is it beauty? Many makers of beauty have been cads and scoundrels. Did beauty save them?
What about God? Can we even count the evils and offenses perpetrated in the name of God? God understands evil, because God offers forgiveness.
Maybe love? Love is powerful against evil, but love takes courage and commitment or it’s a sham.
Evil is here to stay. Evil is in all of us. So each of us must search for the thing that will keep us straight.
