I bring up Taoism because Taoism is not a morality-based trod but a nature-based trod. In Taoism, evil does not exist in itself. Evil is seen as a manifestation of man's misoverstanding of balance, causing one to suffer.

So evil does exist in a worldly manifestation (man's perception) but not unto itself.

Evil in Taoism

"As long as any aspect of the world is a manifestation of Tao, corresponding to a different participation of the Yin and Yang principles, nothing can be considered to be truly evil in the world. Even if Yin is considered a negative principle, it never manifests itself alone. In the Tao-te Ching it is stated:

When beauty is abstracted
Then ugliness has been implied;
When good is abstracted
Then evil has been implied.

(Tao-te Ching 2)

Every positive factor involves its negative or opposing one. What is usually called evil, both the physical and mental aspects, corresponds to a bigger participation of the Yin principle, the result of a lack of balance between the two opposing principles. Evil belongs to the nature of the world, so man has to subscribe to the universal harmony and respect the equilibrium of the two polarities. Tao is eternal and so are the two principles Yang and Yin, so that good and evil must be eternal, as necessary elements of our world. "
