27. Evil Is Not a Thing in the World


A quiet claim about how the world is built.

A target is not set up so that an archer can miss it.

In the same way, the nature of evil does not exist in the world.

What this means. The world is built for things to go right, not wrong. Evil is not a thing in the world. It is a wrong turn inside a person.
