Our entire education is about recognizing good from bad, for example, good influences from bad influences, good behaviour from bad behaviour, good habits from bad habits etc.
Habits become second nature, which is why we become addicted to destructive habits, such as drugs, cigarettes, alcohol, even the quality of selfishness.
The quality of selfishness (seeking to benefit ourselves) is a destructive habit because it leaves us feeling isolated, alone, empty, unfulfilled, miserable and unhappy.
We have to change from personal selfishness (seeking to benefit ourselves) to mutual bestowal (seeking to benefit others). We have to get to a point where we recognize that the quality of selfishness is evil, because it causes harm to us, others and all of nature.
In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

You Who Love The LORD Hate Evil
It is written, "Let those who love the LORD hate evil." (Psalms 97:10, NIV)
Meaning those who love the LORD, the quality of bestowal (seeking to benefit others), hate evil, the quality of selfishness (seeking to benefit oneself).

Evil
Evil doesn't exist within us, it exists in the connection between us.
When we're immersed in selfishness, seeking to benefit ourselves with no regard for others, there's no connection between us because everyone's focused on themselves.
However, when we're in bestowal, seeking to benefit others instead of ourselves, we become connected with each other in mutual concern and consideration.

The Recognition Of Evil
When you go through a change in the perception of your reality, you'll perceive two forces in nature - your own internal quality of selfishness and the quality of bestowal in others.
The quality of selfishness that you'll perceive in yourself, is known as the recognition of evil, because you'll recognize how cruel and evil your selfishness has been, you'll see how you've harmed others.
Later, you'll come to realize that you were never in selfishness, you were always in bestowal.
Do not be afraid, God is with us.
