Do you think evil thrives in this world?

What do you mean by the left hand path? And since when do people who follow a 'right hand path' stagnate and get left behind? These are generalisations that have nothing to do with evil thriving in the world. Firstly there's nothing wrong with the 'left' - this is an age-old superstition that needs to be forgotten in the 21st century. Secondly evil thrives in the world for several reasons: people think they can gain by doing evil, and that there will be no consequences. Evil is a result of sin in human beings, and many people would prefer to sin than do good. Evil is also a supernatural force which most people on earth don't consider has any effect on the lives of human beings.
