No.
How much even only 20th-century history – not even to need consider “centuries” of events and wars and atrocities – and the literatures and ideas and philosophies and religious on “the” question of evil…
It seems less that people do not live in History than they live in a permanent state of present mind…one might say of unmindfulness.
“Evil” is most often certainly believed and located outside one, one’s self, one’s group, one’s nation, one’s ideas and life. But everything, everyone, is “adulterated” with evil to some degree – whether actualized, or realized, or not. It is an outer and inner human reality. And this should just be recognized as, also, human – individually and/or collectively – in the struggle between what is conceived as “good versus evil”.
This ignored unpopular fact undermines – makes unrealistic – most of the proposals for solutions in history.
“Unadulterated evil”?”Unadulterated life”?
No.
