Summary

This quote suggests that evil is not something that the mentally healthy person perceives or acknowledges as a force or presence. It implies that those who are mentally balanced are able to see the world in a way that excludes the concept of evil, as their positive and well-adjusted mindset prevents them from recognizing or engaging with negativity. In this perspective, evil is not seen as an external force shaping one's reality, but rather as a subjective perception influenced by one's mental state.
