assuming that Eru intended everything in his creation to be good, the things that turned evil are but a corruption of the original good. So, evil is just corrupted good. Evil then cannot exist without good, but good can exist independently from evil because it was this "good" which was the original intention

Good point. Can you tell it was a little too early when I composed that poor excuse of a post? So, evil cannot exist without prevenient good. Going off on a wild tangent, if evil did exist without good, would it be classified as evil, since we wouldn't be comparing it to the good it was corrupted from? Hopefully that doesn't get too off topic. Anyways, thanks for your insight, Kaiserin, your respect of opinion, and for the thread! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
