Scale of Good
This is a surprising fact to learn that it is altogether different if we move towards the negative side of a scale for a particular parameter. The two extremes of the scale seem to be two different entities but in fact they are one. It is we who have to decode and tune in somewhere between the scale.
For example in case of heat energy which can be measured with its degree of hotness we can have different bands of heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can touch 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, just the absence of it.
Same is the case with darkness it is the absence of Light. You can have different bands of lights like low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no light constantly, you will strike to nothing and its called darkness isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t anything. If it were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?
In the similar fashion evil is nothing but absence of Good.
