There’s no such thing as pure evil. Its not a nothing, its just a . If something is evil, it still, on some level must be good.

How did you come to the conclusion from what I wrote that good has to be nothing if evil is nothing?

Good is Being. To be good is to be. The good is a transcendental. Good can be predicated of anything that is, even Satan. Satan is good in as much as he/she exists. Satan is evil in as much as he/she lacks perfection according to his/her nature.

Why does there have to be balance? And what should be balanced? Either something is what it was created to be, or to some degree it is not. There’s no paradox to that.
