AUDEN QUOTE

"I and the public know
What all schoolchildren learn,
Those to whom evil is done
Do evil in return."

—W. H. Auden (from "September 1, 1939")

Evil is relative.

The predator does not kill its prey because it is evil.

Is the prey evil when it kills the young of the predator?

Only Man can be evil.

Man's greatest evil is creating a crowded unnatural enviroment enslaving the many to the few and then expecting the enslaved many not to retaliate.

For every action, there is an equal and opposte reaction. There is no Evil.
