Goodness Has No Opposite. Most Of Us Consider Goodness As The Opposite Of The Bad Or Evil And So Throughout History In Any Culture Goodness Has Been Considered The Other Face Of That Which Is Brutal.

Do You Know That Even When You Look At A Tree And Say, `that Is An Oak Tree', Or `that Is A Banyan Tree', The Naming Of The Tree, Which Is Botanical Knowledge, Has So Conditioned Your Mind That The Word Comes Between You And Actually Seeing The Tree?

Ugliness Is A Lack Of Harmony, Assuredly. And Evil Is The Same Thing Of Course.
