Evil is distance. That's it. Even a nano of separation suffices. Love is other-centered (hard to get distance there).

I love this subject!!!! I have studied this thoroughly, through personal thought research, and armature studies.
evil, evil is perception.
so is love.
but love and evil both have labels
but you cant label the boundless.
so what is love?
science tells us love is..... well.... that love doesn't truly exist as it is labled.
I have come to this conclusion.
love is not something you can label down to the letter, our minds will never allow us to truly observe our emotions.
because we feel them, in vain bias, whilst observing.
this is what I can describe as love.
the longing for an illusion. that just for the moment, even if only for a split second, that we are not alone in our minds, that we can be as one, an attraction, formed by the desperation of the self aware human conscious, that cannot be truly described by science. as those who observe it, have a conscious, but without a conscious, you cannot observe it.
the paradox is endless. such is life.
thus love is boundless and free.
evil?? evil is more unique then you may think.
when one describes evil, they describe what it is from what they have experienced and observed.
love fades many times.
stay around evil long enough and it never fades. evil breaks itself, like love, evil knows no bounds. except evil does not fade.
for me, being raised in Washington. the theory of evolution is quite accepted. it may have rubbed off on me, because, evil to me, may also be an illusion, evil..... but why is it, that if you put a human, with no consciousness of the terms, evil, or love, or good for that matter. they will still discern bad from good to a certain extent? the mind is a wonderful thing isn't it?
in the end, evil is life but life is not evil.
going back to how evil breaks itself, evil divides and conquers, so you are right, evil is distance.
love is the thing that cannot be described.
PS: most of this was what happens when I think in two different directions.
sorry if it is confusing!
