Evil is not the opposite of good.
for if were the opposite of good, it would be just as powerful as good.
but i do not believe it to be so.
instead, evil is the distortion of good.
a deviation, a slight corruption, a missed note.
a just-a-tad-lower than intended execution.
that is how evil works.
not by overpowering good, but by corrupting the song one note at a time.
changing a few notes so that the final piece will end up...
entirely different.
self-confidence into pride.
physical attraction into lust.
pleasure into indulgence.
respect into envy.
self-preservation into selfishness.
ambition into greed.
evil is not the opposite of good.
just a tainting of it.
