☦️ One more excerpt on evil from an Orthodox Christian site...

"According to the Holy Scripture and the experiences of the Holy Fathers, the only true evil is the violation of moral norms. From this, other forms of evil take root. The moral evil originates inside a morally-lax being and if it is not voluntarily cut short by him, then it ripens more and becomes stronger in man, gradually merging with his will and manifesting itself to a greater degree in destructive and loathsome actions."
