Counterarguments (blog 6)

In blog 5 I stated that evil is necessary for the developement of moral character. Some people believe that if we did not have evil in the world then we would have a world filled with nothing but good people. I do not think this is a valid argument. First of all, we wouldn't even have "good" without evil existing. That would be like saying, if left did not exist, everyone would be right handed. You cannot have one without the other. Furthermore, people only have the opportunity to be good if evil is also an option.
