You know how people are always using light and darkness as metaphors for good and evil? From a scientific point of view, darkness (or shadow, as some are wont to argue) is simply an absence of light. If you relate this property back into the good/evil metaphor, it means that evil is merely an absence of good. Therefore evil in inherent, all-pervading, natural. Good is the usurper here. Being good is unnatural. So when we complain about how fucked up the world is, it should cross our minds that it really isn't so much of people being selfish or self-destructive. Rather, the majority of us are simply being true to ourselves, and our own nature.
Sad, right? I'll leave it at that.
