Only because you attribute to magic what you don't understand. We already know that memes have a life cycle of their own, so if evil begets evil (we call this force corruption) then evil is a meme and therefor a thing. No need for any supernatural beings, only a complex system.
Also the very question "is evil a thing?" is academic at best. We know Hitler was evil. We know that raping babies is evil. So while it might be very difficult or even impossible to academically define evil, it is real, and you know it when you see it.
Similar concept to the question of "what is quality?" I suggest reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, if you are interested in this line of thinking. It should also be easy to find at your local library.
For this, you need to read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.
Then, you need to read Pirsig's second book on the subject, Lila.
Neither made much sense to me, but the first is always the answer to when people start pondering what is quality, and the second is the answer to the question about what Pirsig was talking about in the first book.
But neither book really answers the question. Coming from a QA/QC background, I consider quality to be meeting the standards you put down in the first place (QA) by rigorous testing (QC).

I strongly suggest you read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, or any book on Zen for that matter.
In Japan there are many "meaningless" looking tasks, from bonsai tree trimming to flower arrangement. They even have, to what you may observe, a ridiculous way of drinking tea in the form of a ceremony.
Read up on some Zen. Hopefully that will help you understand what benefits "dedication to such a meaningless task" can bring.
Hey glad to hear it. appreciating the little things is a great way to be happy. i bough a new bath matt a few weeks ago, its really fluffy and now im happy when ever im brushing my teeth (which is twice a day) so id say it was a good investment.
I'd recommend Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance I wont say it changed my life, but i felt different after reading it.
Yeah, probably fair enough.
