The Evil Face Of Reality

Since human beings are forced to react to life in terms of good and evil, it is not surprising that the mythologies and religions of the world have always tried, each in its own way, to explain the presence of evil. It was through myths that ancient man personified both the harmful forces of nature and the spirit world that threatened him. It was in this way, too, that he sought a term of coexistence with the destructive powers that affected his life so deeply. A review of some of the most important myths would help us to determine the various ways in which humanity has tried to come to terms, spiritually and psychologically, with the problem of evil.
