Adversity (i.e., difficulty, misfortune) is not the same thing as "evil" spelled with an upper-case "E." But we generally do not recognize the distinction. So if we so much as get a hangnail, we view it as an "evil" perpetrated on us. Anything that disturbs our complacently and/or comfort can be labeled "evil." Satan gets the last laugh on this score....

Isn't that the truth! We also forget we ourselves are clumsey and can aften create our own misery...last night I bumped my toe on the recliner..ouch! Grit my teeth and of course blamed the chair....when in fact I was walking in the dark.
