Talk:Privatio boni

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is my understanding of the matter (which may be incomplete), and my belief (which is clearly not objective). It might break some of the guidelines for Wiki articles (even though I was careful to say "if" a lot), so feel free to redo whatever you think you should. --Polyparadigm 07:05, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

"However, in this case evil is the default state of the universe, and good exists only through constant effort; any lapse or redirection of good will apparently create evil out of nothing."

I would not call this a true statement. If the metaphor of light is viewed as energy, and not confined to a visible spectrum of wavelength. Then it could be stated that evil would be the absence of energy. To my knowledge, there is never an absence of energy, possibly an unquantifiable amount.
