The absence of evil in any competition, and the presence of evil outside of competition.
Quote:Even if you want to call it evil or a sin, it is necessary to our continuing existence. I small evil within a greater good must be seen as good as it is necessary.Necessity is not equivalent to morality, and a plainer reading of a necessary evil is not that it is, therefore, a good - but that it is...necessary..... and evil.

We're back round to the fortunate catastrophe we began with. If man hadn't sinned we couldn't be saved. If we didn't compete, we'd be dead.
That is why our evolution is all good, even with the touch of evil from competing built into it.
We are still here.
Necessity overrides morality when not doing a thing ends in extinction. Life will ignore morals to live in most cases, I think.
