I would suggest that the quality of the inquiry would resolve our discussion towards, can there then be such a thing as an opposite of evil.... (I propose love vs. truth)
the assertion claims it's the obliteration of truth which manifest it's foundational effects.
I can't defend the proposition exactly, but I find the question raising more questions about how we meter such things as evil and love... and without such a meter how can they even be considered scalar opposites.
Is their a spectrum of evil... (or love for that matter?)
how is the dimensional metaphor of opposite really agreed upon in discourse?
Are we not often catching ourselves using the same term for a different thing, or using two terms for the same thing?
Difficult deliberations... you guys rock...
Truth is the question I think on now... because are truth and fact not connected?
"He killed a man... that's a fact!"
"It was in self-defense... that's the truth."
Is the truth actually evil?
Juxtaposition accomplished....
