Speaking about Good and Evil. Although we can't see it but we can feel or experience it. Something as intangible as good or evil is more service-based. We can't have either good or evil wrapped up neatly in a gift box and presented to others. Unquestionably, we can safely say that good and evil are the mirror images, rather the consequences of our own good deeds and wrongdoings, respectively.
However, the question itself isn't clear! Which face of evil is it asking about? Is it the supernatural aspect or the aspect of misdeeds? I had a little confusion as to which form of evil was it asking for. So, does evil exist? Yes and yes, in both the aforementioned cases. I firmly believe that evil does exist. From the supernatural point of view, if there's a God then there surely is evil. Moreover, evil in the form of "misdeeds" are also prevalent. Here, it is basically the projections of the reactions of our own actions. We may have differentiated opinions about considering misdeeds as an evil, however, I'd like to consider it as "social evil". WHAT YOU DO UNTO OTHERS SHALL RETURN BACK TO YOU. To support this, here's another phrase, "WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND."
Furthermore, in the Chinese culture, there's the concept, or rather the philosophy of Ying-Yang. This "Ying-Yang" talks about the equal opposites of just about anything. Whatever you do or say, be it good or bad, there will always be an opposite reaction, which is how the world balances itself.
Thank you.
