<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

If you ask me, the rest state of reality as a whole is one of conflict, and will be until the last star in the last little timeline burns out.  The laws of thermodynamics dictate it; something must transition from a higher state of matter to a lower to perform any form of meaningful work.  Gasoline burns to drive cars, stars burn out to heat worlds and make life, and governments fall and men fight to exact societal change.  There's nothing morally [i]wrong[/i] with conflict, just as there's nothing evil about a hurricane or an earthquake.  Conflict, disunity, discord, are all simply entropic forces writ large.

And yet, we all see their consequences on their victims. Every single issue you listed can be traced back to the same evil, whether directly or otherwise.
