How does evil come from love
By zevi770 · August 19, 2013
In truth people are loving – one needs only look at children and see the warmth in which they greet strangers, naively supposing the world is there to return such love
But where do things go wrong?
As always, the Torah actually is the prototype to explain
Why would Kain kill Able his own brother
The answer is clearly there, out of jealousy
The midrash further teaches, that kain was jealous that Able was born with a second triplet
In other words, the reason otherwise happy people who literally have the entire world to themselves get sour, as the Torah described his face – mood – fell, is because people are naturally jealous!
