The king asked his guru – “Good and bad do exist, don’t you agree?”.
The guru replied – “No, My king. Only good exists. What you refer to as bad is merely the absence of good.”
The king shook his head before responding – “That can’t be. What about wayward men who do evil acts?”
The guru smiled and said – “There is no evil.”
Written as part of #MicroMondays, hosted by Varad over at Loose End Of The Thread.
Each week we are given a set word count for a piece of micro fiction, and a quote from a book that must be included in the story. This week’s quote to be included was ‘Good and bad do exist’ and the word count was 61.
The guru is always right, isn’t he? 🙂

There’s a greater meaning to what the Guru says. The King would understand it one day.

There are only evil acts, no evil men? Hopefully like the king even I will get wiser one day
