Is there a concept of evil in the Work? What is evil and is it our nature or a force we are influenced by so to use our free will so to be under God's influence?
Yes, generally what we think of as good in the work is not what the general population thinks of as good. I would go on to say that it is "all good". What we see as bad is a judgment that we make as it is not what was wanted or intended. If we got everything that we wanted there would be no catalyst for the change to occur. Desire can be one of the biggest enemies on the path, and yet with out it we would not survive. Everything has a purpose and it could not be if it was not for the Good.
