Both good and evil have the right to exist.
The evil has to be used for the purpose for which it is suited.
The skin of the orange is not sweet. But it helps to protect the
sweetness within. The bitter green skin of the unripe orange
protects the fruits during the ripening period. The skin too
gradually takes on some of the sweetness and flavor of the ripening
orange. So too, evil has to be slowly transformed into good by
the subtle influence of association.
