Evil is real.
The gift of a bad man can bring no good.
But a lie is a lie, and in itself intrinsically evil, whether it be told with good or bad intents.
Evil person causes harm even if treated will.
Evil is knowing better, but willingly doing worse.
There is no act, however virtuous, for which ingenuity may not find some bad motive.
Punishing libels public or private is foolish, because it does not answer the end, and because the end is a bad one, if it could be answered.
