   So what do you use to define good or evil?  All that most of us can   
   see is our own limited, unenlightened, subjective perspective.  In   
   addition, if we view God as good we will filter out things that point   
   to God not being good.  If we view God as evil, we filter out all   
   things that point to God as good.   
      
   lf it is true that there really is no death, then even the most "evil"   
   things are but temporary, limited events in the vastness of infinity.   
   No injury is permanent,  we all will heal, we all will forgive.   
      
    What if there is another option that transcends either good or evil.   
   That option is described by the mystics as a Oneness of All in which   
   everything is but a dance of God.
