There is no evil in existence. Evil is
non-existence. All that is created is good. Ignorance is evil and it is the
non-existence of knowledge; it has no existence of its own. Hence, evil is the
non-existence of good. Want of wealth is poverty; absence of justice is
oppression; want of perfection is deficiency. All of these opposites imply
non-existence and not existence.
