Evil in the World

Here's a different perspective that I just ran across.
David Aaron, a rabbi and writer, says, "Kabbalah is teaching that the main feature and advantage of this world is the evil in it. This world was not created for what is already good in it. This world was created to be a forum for a new and higher form of goodness — the goodness born out of overcoming evil and choosing to do good."
Most of us think the opposite - that the world was created all good and that humankind ruined it. Interesting....
