What is commonly known as "evil" is a spiritual illness that prevents the afflicted individual (AI) from reaching godhood. Ironically enough, reaching godhood is all the AI truly wants, yet he or she cannot fulfill this longing, no matter what he or she does. The AI turns to the next best thing, a higher power, and the AI remains devoted to his or her higher power with borderline delusional zeal.
