good and evil

a touchy subject. Now that I think about it, perhaps Eru WANTED a bad influence in the world, to galvanize the good people into being strong and clever, hence Melkor's rebellion being Iluvatar's "instrument". Also, most talents origianate, or are assisted by the "bad part" of you (by some logic acting skill is lying skill, sports proficiancy (most were origionally war practice) is fighting proficiancy etc. etc.).Imagine a person who is perfect and pure. Unable to do any wrong. Sounds good at first, but when you think about it, someone who cannot lie, strike a blow or insult someone and is a complete aesectic isn't someone I'd want on my side. What's more, you can't count on him to stick with you, he will see no betrayal in abandoning you for someone who seems more moral. Does Arda Remade (better then the theoretically perfect first edition) symbolize this? You tell me.
