Title: Principle of Evil

A pentagram drawn

-Translated by Isk.
How can one measure
the good without
knowing the bad?
How can one long for
the light without
knowing the
anguish of darkness?
In what unpleasant
land of plenty would
one live were there no
bad. Evil causes
suffering and from
pain springs the
desire for something
better; deficiencies
cause us to want
improvement, evolution,
and to set up ideas. It
can safely be said, as
it has often been, that
the Gods would cease
to exist if there were
no anti-Gods (the
Infernal or the
Malfeans).
The problem of evil has been taboo for centuries. The official dogma was to be the only valid explanation of the perennial strife of good and evil, and every unconventional interpretation was punishable.
The Dark Lord is an individualist. He upsets the commandments of bliss which enforce a definite moral conduct. He inspires us with a longing for the unknown; he gives us dreams and hopes. He endows us with bitterness and discontent, but in the end he leads us to the better, and thus he mainly serves the good.
Without the dark we would not know the light.
