THE NATURE OF EVIL
'There have also 'been many philosophic attempts to snake terms with evil; and their method is usually to pass, unnoticed toy the 'plholisopher himsieCf, from metaphor into thought, thought into metaphor. Evil is necessary to good, is 'the correative of good; it,is ike the shadow without which there can be no light, the discord without which harmony would be insipid, the bitter that gives a relish to sweet. But, in fact, evil is not in ithe least like any of these, for none' of theise are evil. These metaphors could satisfy no one who was suffering from evil. ' No man suffeuing from pain has ever believed that without pain toe could never have any pleasure. Try it on yourself when you have) the toothache and you will see that it does not convince you or reconcile you ! to the toothache."' —The latle A. CUitton Brock.
