The Illusion of Evil

“The revelation of Fatima is a reminder that we live in a moral universe, that evil is self-defeating, that good is self-preserving…” – Fulton Sheen

No matter how victorious and attractive evil may seem to be, let us always remember that it could never triumph in the end. For it is in the very nature of evil to destroy itself. It is in the very nature of sin to lead to death.

Evil merely hides behind an illusion, an illusion that it could somehow survive, that the good it offers can somehow be sustained. This illusion entraps us and make us believe in a lie.

Darkness cannot even preserve itself. No matter how small we think the sin we give excuses for, it harms us, and it will eventually lead to our own destruction.

But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, produces death. – James 1
