What should we do about evil? We should not entertain evil , because entertaining evil is the only thing that validates it. This means we cannot banish evil, because it will only come back to haunt us twice as bad. We cannot try to punish evil, because then we may become evil ourselves. Evil tries to beget evil, but evil will fail if you know that two wrongs don't add up to make a right. Thus evil seems tricky, but like the truth itself, if you know the trick, you have nothing to worry about. Simultaneously, if you have nothing to worry about, you know the trick. And that is the trick! Thus the answer is that you must forgive evil, and this is the only thing that will make evil good again. It sounds like a contradiction that we should forgive evil, but it is true, yet another example of how truth=inconsistency
And so Lee's interpretation of the incompleteness theorem is proven yet again. A testament to the fact that he sees the truth like no other man before him. Thus we should all hope to benefit. |
