"We are tainted by modern philosophy which has taught us that all is good, whereas evil has polluted everything and in a very real sense all is evil, since nothing is in its proper place"

This quote by Joseph de Maistre talks to the concept that modern-day viewpoint has actually led us to believe that all is good, when in truth, evil has actually corrupted whatever. He suggests that in a really genuine sense, all is evil, as nothing remains in its correct location. This indicates that the world runs out balance, which the existence of evil has triggered a disturbance in the natural order of things. This quote speaks to the idea that contemporary philosophy has caused us to be naive and ignore the existence of evil in the world. It also suggests that we ought to be more familiar with the existence of wicked and make every effort to restore balance and order in the world.
