Is doing evil a necessity of life?

Evolution has two major components that we must do to survive; compete or cooperate, as required. Cooperation we would see as good because it does not create a victim or loser. Competition would be seen as evil as it creates a victim and loser.

I definitely agree with your post.

I would like to add this:

If God wanted us to understand what evil is, we must be able to know what good is and vice versa. We must be able to sin in order to refrain from it. So the knowledge of good and evil is a necessary thing in the understanding of the meaning of life.

Without it we would have remained in a state of (ignorant) bliss as we were in the garden of evil. Like a child, we were ignorant of the evil of the world but also unable to grow and learn until we experienced pain and learned what ''bad'' means.

So ultimately, God created a perfect imperfect world. To appreciate perfection, we must know imperfection.

This knowledge frees the mind.

I see all carnivores as cooperative hunters but solitary feeders.

"Evil" is a subjective coinage, and an old-fashioned blurry confusing and superficial yet useful concept. It goes along with other superficial analysis like blame and responsibility. All of them social shortcuts to avoid deep analysis and complex evaluation of facts of life. "Evil" when under rigorous scrutiny boils down to stupidity... the same kind that elected Trump for instance.

...Ontologically speaking the usefulness of stupidity is not far apart from the second law of thermodynamics nor from the reason why the Universe is not perfectly uniform from the get go. A perfect Reality would be a very dull place with a perfectly uniform distribution of energy without any matter, no galaxies, stars or any planets. No stuff of any kind, just radiation.
Stupidity is relative to frames of reference and goes in different scaling degrees. That is to mean consciousness, the search for answers, problem-solving, computation, necessarily requires ignorance, (you can't justify/prove a system from inwards) and thus an endless search for clarification.
Its usefulness is to provide work and through it meaning to the lesser stupid kind around.

To sum it all up in a sentence, yes, stupidity is necessary. (therefore Natural, go figure)

I'sd say so, Am, 'cause it's all relative. Porky would consider us the summit of evil

I don't think it's needed in life. But people do evil.

If you do not think it is required, then show how you can live without competing for resources. Please use the scenario of job hunting.
