Reason evil exists and why it can't fully be explained.

[theunify]

It occurred to me in my weakened state...14 stitches to the right heal (my own fault mind you as I kicked a shower tile in anger).

Normally I keep pretty mellow, low key, don't even roll my eyes at the News programs on late at night...that's pretty hard nowadays, but sometimes little things annoy me and I can't get the anger out , I suppose if I did drugs it would be easy to blame my medication, but it's not that it's just I've had many twists in turns in my life which cause me to be somewhat prone to hypervigilence over very small trivial matters.

Well it occured to me because does lately I've been hearing more and more people on tv and on the internet talk about "be mindful of your own shadow", even one tv program accusing a family heirloom of stealing their sons soul...so anyway I am not downplaying the wisdom in the quote nor am I downplaying how shiny metalic objects can sometimes cause people to lose their soul...through obsession no less as that's a very scientific principle.

Well we always ask ourselves if a supreme being exists then can we define evil? What is a shadow but the absence of light? Do surely you've heard about the undergrad who was killed while conducting late night research into dark matter...perhaps this was a simple example of an overworked student trying to take on the responsibility of the world when the world wasn't ready for what she was discovering, perhaps she was tired, a shadow caught her eye (perhaps her own) AND THEN HER HAIR WAS STUCK INTO THE MACHINERY AND IT WAS LONG ENOUGH THAT IT STRANGLED HER.

Now I don't say that to jest and I haven't the girls name at my fingertips but if you do google "dark matter" "accident" "yale" you may find it; I do simply not want to go searching on the internet for a story of death; so I suggest you take my word for it or you can go ruin your day by reading such a preventable tragedy.

So I was wrong......here I am attempting communication with you once again, though I suggested rather strongly that I would not.

You have mentioned your injury several times and now you admit that it was caused by a moment of weakness brought upon you by anger.

Are you able to put into words that which made you so angry? If not in the open forum, then by PM?

Michelle Dufault is the name of the unfortunate 22 year old student who was killed when her hair was caught in a lathe while working late at night. The date of the article that I read was April 13th, 2011, several weeks, almost a month ago now.

Every day, bad things happen to good people, even when they practice due diligence, theunify.

Sometimes we are the authors of our own misfortune and other times we may get caught up in that which is happening around us as 'collateral damage.'

You have titled this thread 'Reason evil exists and why it can't fully be explained.'

Perhaps you could help me out here, so that I do not offend you in my replies, by explaining:

1. What YOU define as evil, which may differ from how others define it.
2. Why you perceive there need be a reason for evil to exist.
3. Why you think that evil can't be explained.

I am one who tends to rationalize that there IS an explanation for everything, though we may not be able to immediately comprehend it at the time.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Labelwench,

Well we won't discuss the shortfalls of Toequest here I understand you don't like posting here because the discussion can seem to fly of the handel really quickly, I suppose the 'fly of the handel' mentality is intensified by Toequest's lack of chat feature and very limited knowledge of who is and who isn't an actual human being posting, these are minor shortfalls ... in a virtual world, imagine having to demask the real boogie persons of the past such as during ...never mind that's very off topic and disturbing to think about...

To address your points, keep in mind I could have reversed the above postulate to state "Reason good exists and why it can't does fully be explained", so as you see I require further clarification to your request as I was hoping this would turn into a community thread and not a Labelwench/theunify thread...perhaps we will wait for one person to comment, then I'll explain my idea and then we can communicate instead of isolate ourselves from the rest of Toequest by being too barbaric in our patient for outehr other minds to join in.

When one casts a line into the water, (i.e. starts a thread in a public forum), one effectively gives over control in the regard that one has no control over who will/will not respond.

I seriously considered NOT responding to your post, yet empathy for your injury prompted me otherwise.

That you state a wish for others to join in before responding further, I acknowledge and will not post on this thread again until this criteria is satisfied, or you change the parameters. This post is to indicate that I have read your most recent post.

Good and bad things happen because freedom within our form is a two-edged sword.

Person to person evil is well defined by civil law.

[melanie]

By oneself is evil done; by oneself is one defiled. By oneself is evil left undone; by oneself is one made pure.
Purity and impurity depended on oneself; no one can purify another.

(Dhammapada XII, verse 165)

So you think dark matter and evil are linked somehow? Is it because dark matter includes "dark" which causes you to associate it with evil?

Do you think some dark matter ghost killed her, because he wanted to prevent her from knowing the truth about it?

[theunify]

Mr. Ignorant,

I see you've done your s research other than this thread which lacks of any. She was in fact killed in the dark, it was "2 AM" when she was performing her experie experiment, so a ghost is unlikely unless you rule out the official explanation that the machine used to spin bottles was the culprit. The truth about it was her research, she li does likely know more about it than any of us here on this path however I think it may serve as a wakeup call to the world that safety is something which requires money and science doesn't get enough money to protect itself, even machines needs special protection to protect us from touching something we are not supposed to; this is an evil being overlooked and one we should donate to as a large majority of all donations to any cause.

Mr. Ignorant,

this is the standards of the devil who is out to stop his death sentence by having humanity sentenced to eternal death. there are two spirits on this earh, the light and the dark as eve gave birth to two sons. it is not religion it is reality.

If you reverse the word evil you have its polar opposite live,so evil is opposed to the universal principle of living/life.The spectrum of life has living at one end of its prism and evil or death at the other end of the spectrum,so they are both related,one for expansion=life.The other for contraction =death.
