This calls for some Tao Te Ching:

7
The Tao is infinite, eternal.
Why is it eternal?
It was never born;
thus it can never die.
Why is it infinite?
It has no desires for itself;
thus it is present for all beings.

11
We join spokes together in a wheel,
but it is the center hole
that makes the wagon move.

We shape clay into a pot,
but it is the emptiness inside
that holds whatever we want.

We hammer wood for a house,
but it is the inner space
that makes it livable.

We work with being,
but non-being is what we use.

That makes a -lot- of sense to me. I have always been very precognitive, (via dreams) intuitive, and I was SO incredibly artistic, at a very early age, (around 6) that I was the talk of all the family relatives on both sides. At school. teachers and students would line up so I would draw something for them. I was an artistic savant, and would comply, just in case I could be liked, and not disliked, which could get you bullied. But I was born into a large impoverished family-upbringing, full of strife. We moved 4 times by age 8. It was like being born homeless. No one including myself, would acknowledge that I was an Asperger Autistic, until I got diagnosed at 43, after I fell through the cracks of society, for years. Socializing/dealing with other people was always unrelatable/alien to me, and this caused me to never be able to hold on to a job for very long. Never held on to an apartment for very long. Apartments are noisy, and my head is like a hyper sensory sensitive radar dish, and noise is my own special hell, as is an empathy which makes me able to feel what is going on re. everyone around me. This kept me safe while I was homeless for 5 years, though.
When I was young, everyone thought I would go on to become a renown artist, and making money. I was always an extremely good person, who never got arrested, never was into drugs, never alcoholoc.

So I often wonder why---------- I was born into the conditions, to the specific people. There was never ever a secure comfortable safe quiet supportive launching pad for me, it was always, survive or drown, right out of the starting gate.

"Good" and "Evil" are a creation of man. What is good to me could be painful to you. What I enjoy could make you miserable. It's open ended. There are good and poor decisions, or ignorance, to explain the "evil" people.



Good does not always= pleasure and evil doesn't always=pain. Some people are just born without a conscience. And if you don't have one, then concepts like good and evil appear almost meaningless.
