If the first distortion is free will, no one is condemned of anything, only going through chosen experiences as Intelligent Infinity of Itself. So rather than a necessary evil, I view it as a chosen evil, chosen by those who seem to impose it and chosen by those who seem to suffer from it.
I get what you are saying, your understanding is more advanced than mine because I'm not at that place in the way you view things. I have a real problem with the so-called necessary evil/wickedness of the world. Replace the word 'condemned' by 'subjected to', does that change anything?
I feel that this 'chosen evil' is not always a conscious choice and it is difficult for me to dismiss the suffering of this world into the category of «chosen suffering». Can't do that without a high degree of emotional detachment.
For me there is a piece of the puzzle still missing in my seeking, I am not entirely comfortable with your stance - not that I am saying it is wrong. Your input does provide some measure of clarification and I thank-you for that!
