page 174--

a  class  teacher  asked  his  students  to  define  evil

one  raised  his  hands  to  answer  the  question on the  condition the  teacher cleared  the  doubts  in the  mind  of  the  student
to  explain if  cold had  any existence
the  teacher  believed  it  did  to  the  surprised  class  the  brilliant  student  argued  cold  did  not  exist  it  was  a  condition where  the  temperatures  were  low  , it  was  not  a  matter

likewise  absence  of  light   was called  darkness  which  otherwise  has  no  existence  or  matter 

evil  was  not  a  thing  as  such  but  a  condition where  goodness  is  absent


the  name  of  this  student  is  etched  in golden letters  in history  of  goodness  --albaruni
