Evil

Evil is a topic that most are hesitant to approach as a general rule I am too, but after a very lengthy discussion we decided to address in this forum. Evil is very real, and very dangerous. Unfortunately, some of the most evil things on this planet go unnoticed. There is an old saying, "The devil's greatest accomplishment was convincing the world that he doesn't exist." The heart of this statement is undeniably true. There is another saying, "Darkness wins when the light refuses to shine."
Evil is seductive, and hidden in many forms, but with every act of good evil is pushed back a little farther. The worst thing about evil is that it's so very easy. There are spells out there that can be used to sabotage another in order to advance oneself. They are disseminated by agents of chaos and evil in order to push the forces of light back. The Wicca came up with a rule that is at the core of their belief system, "Whatever you send out you get back times three." This is merely an echoing of the golden rule, but overall a good rule.
If you are contemplating using some supernatural force to get ahead in this world (which isn't completely bad) you need to make sure that you have looked at every angle, and know who it will effect. Because of the butterfly effect that is not always possible, but do your best and don't do anything that will cause injury to another.
Just as there are forces of evil in this world there are forces of good as well. They are charged with guiding and protecting humanity. Thought they are not in the business of harming others, they will make sure that supernatural forces are not abused to the point where others would be harmed. They are feared by evil and praised by those they help. You don't want to get on the wrong side of the forces of good, and you don't want to give evil a doorway to use you as one of it's agents.
A good practice to observe is to state exactly what you will and will not do when entering the realm of the supernatural. Now here is the tricky part, once you have drawn that line don't cross it. Once you do it gets easier and easier to go farther and farther. You never want to get to the point where you look back and cannot see your line. I know it's cliched but it is generally correct.
Be good, Do good and good things will come to you.
And remember that good will always win. Sure evil may have some small victories but in the end good triumphs; this is the way that is has always been.
The universe is vast and we are very small. In the end the only thing we really can control is whether we are good or evil.
