Introduction: Light on Evil; the Indefinable
Magic, a source of life like any other. It's influence on the creatures born of it the same as any force of creation. The potential for good, evil, or even both embedded in its roots. Yet, what is the truth of evil? This question, miss-interpreted by many, even those of the highest of stature and possessors of the greatest of knowledge have been ignorant of its true meaning. Evil is the presence of bad, the actions that go against people's morals, at least, that is what most believe. Only those people who have experienced, had evil in themselves can understand that exactly it is, and what it isn't. And even then, it is indefinable. What exactly are the morals of people? Every being has their own set of morals that they have created and altered over the years they have lived. Think though, of the person who is considered evil. What are their morals? And is evil is going against ones morals, and this 'evil' person does not believe he is doing so against his own, is he truly evil? Or is evil the complete absence of good? But, just as we can not completely define evil, so goes with good.
Judgement is one of the most enigmatic actions. We frown at those who judge ourselves, yet we do so ourselves, sometimes without even noticing. So what gives us the right to take one's set of morals, saying that they are not right and making them evil? Nothing does, yet we do, and that justifies to ourselves, the actions we take against that 'evil' object. Many times, in the history of people, we have preformed these types of actions. Some may regret it, while others see it as the right thing that could have been done. These judgements that have shaped the history of the universe based upon the question of good versus evil are the foundation of the nature of people. Although we view judging as something that we should not have the right of performing, yet ironically we do, without judgement, people would not be people, and free will non-existent.
Thus, is it best to just allow the definition, the meaning of evil, to remain buried among those few that can answer it? For if we do, judgement upon the subject will continue, along with that of others, and people remain unbounded by the truth from those broken souls. And if released it into the ignorant world, would things change, or would all ignore it and nature continue how it was before the information was released? Will it have such an extraordinarily powerful impact on people, that changes so drastic lead to either destruction of people, or a world of total peace, inside and out? Is the world ready and able to contemplate, understand, what would be given to them? These questions, like many others, can not be answered, and for the sake of existence, are best not to be. For, the answers are hidden in between books of the past, minds of the future, and souls of the present, never to be opened to the world to read, even if one wanted them to be…that is, unless the Gods wish it so. And if the Gods were to demand it of a single existing being, that being must obey, and reveal this secret that could lead to the destruction, or salvation of all that is.
There is much still unknown, and this being, for the sake of its survival to perform its given task if it is ever asked of it, must stay a figure in the shadows. This being…the light on the evil, the truth of the unknown, the indefinable.
