What is good and what is evil?

Good is that which you consider to be good, and the effect of which is agreeable to you both in its beginning and end.Evil is that which you  consider to be evil and the effect of which is disagreeable in the beginning as well as in in the end.

All things that seem good and evil are the opposite ends of one line,and it is difficult to say where evil ends and good begins. A lesser good would seem evil when compared with a greater good, and the lesser evil in comparison with the greater evil would appear good.

If there were no evil, good would not have been valued.

Therefore the whole of life's joy is expressed in duality.
