On the Creation of Evil

שו”תCategory: generalOn the Creation of Evil
asked 9 years ago

There is a point that is not clear to me in the minds of the wise. What preceded the divine will to actually correct evil and return it to good, and for this purpose the work of the underpants was created ? Or did God want there to be work for the underpants, and for this purpose He created actual evil so that it could be corrected and this would be our work?

Evil does not come down from above. Therefore, I believe that He created the possibility of evil (meaning our ability to choose, and therefore the possibility to create evil or good. If there is no possibility to choose evil, there is no choice, and then choosing good is not truly good either) and not evil itself. Our choice creates evil, and therefore we are the ones who need to correct it.
