The problem of evil is great. Many cannot tolerate hearing its name. But they are faced with it every moment of their life, and therefore not solving this problem cannot help. Besides this, everyone is ready to judge, or to observe, to take notice of the evil of another, not knowing that sometimes the surface of a thing is quite different from its depth. Maybe what seems evil has something good inside it, or what is in appearance good may have a spark of evil inside. And by what standard can we determine evil and good, and who can judge the evil and good of any man? If one can judge, it is one's own evil and good that one can judge. No one except God has the power to judge another. Yes, the sense of justice that is given to man is for judging his own actions, and if he judges himself, he uses it best, because for that purpose the sense of justice was given to him.
