IS EVIL A PRIVATION OF THE GOOD OR IS IT A THING? IS EVIL A PRIVATION OF THE GOOD OR IS IT A THING? According to Plato, evil is not real. The Form of the Good is the source of all reality. Therefore, all that is real is good. By borrowing Plato’s metaphysics into Christianity, St. Augustine asserts that evil is a privation of the good, evil is not something. God created all things and God did not create evil. If evil is the absence of the good, meaning there is no presence of evil since evil is not a thing. Then the question is: What is present? If not the good and nothing else, what is? Therefore, good and evil both exist and at the opposite sides of the same scale. Both are co-existing in duality with each other. Both are ‘things’. It is correct only to a little degree to say that evil is the privation of the good. Metaphorically, let’s take black and white as an example of the opposites. Saying evil is the absence of good is like saying black is the absence of white. Is it not that white is the absence of black? Thus, it is yet to be accepted as a comprehensive ethical code. What would make better sense then is that: Both good and evil co-exist, as has been said, in duality. Generally speaking, killing is evil while saving someone away from pain is good. Let’s put on our white coat and walk into an Intensive Care Unit right now and consider mercy killing or euthanasia of a terminally ill patient. If evil is just a privation of good, then what is of absence in our act of euthanasia? Perhaps we see the absence of good. Perhaps we see nothing if evil is not a thing. Or perhaps it is the presence of both good and evil that contributes to this popular controversy. Grey is what we get when we mix white and black. Let’s carefully recall one time in our past that we criticized about someone being evil. When we are told, “That man is evil”, we innocently think about him being evil from head to toe and inside out. Strictly speaking, the so-called evil man still has the potential within to do something good. There is never ‘absence of the good’. Good is real. Evil is real. Both are real. The good is the evil. The evil is the good.

人的情感就像頑皮的小惡魔，喜歡戲弄，撥動平靜的心湖。

I asked myself one day : What fuels my creative process ? I answered many years later : The process itself.

累，又怎樣？累，又怎樣？累，又怎樣？累，又怎樣？累，又怎樣？

曾經以為可以生死相許的愛情 其實 ．．． 〔敬請耐心等待，我以後會將其寫成電影〕

在這空間裡, 我到底能將自己解剖多深，掏空多少？ 老實說，有點害怕。 但我想我所需要的勇氣也就在這裡吧？下一段路程, 該和裡頭的自己結伴同遊了！

我值多少？有一文嗎？

剛剛好想歇斯底里地大喊一場。累了吧？ 累了去把淚繼續忍住。

什麼是自由？什麼是快樂？什麼是安寧？是妥協之後的風平浪靜，還是爭扎到堅決之後的新天地？
