But Where Does This Evil Come From?

But where does this evil come from?
Merely a hole,
It is a total privation of goodness
It is simply a lack of goodness,
An emptiness within a soul
Because of the weakness of the will of His creations
Our love becomes misguided
Obsessed with the suffering of others
We all have elements of evil within us
We are Changeable
We grow and mature
And we must die
Everything needs balance
Evil is necessary for there to be good
Otherwise, 
What is good but a concept?
