Evil is even more destructive than chaos and entropy. It tends to have bad intentions and bad outcomes. Evil is in bad faith, and life is a good faith exertion.
Ethos is the system of things that are both important to you and ethical. If you have trouble centering in your ethos, try noticing your truest sensibilities (those not steeped in neurosis) and see if you can find the thread of your ethos. Sensibilities are about what’s good taste versus what’s in bad taste, and one’s corresponding reactions. Real-life evil is always in very bad taste. Good feels satisfying. Avoid prejudices in this process, also. If your taste is currently corrupted, you’ll have to go back to an earlier time when your relationship with the world was more pure to remember your true sensibilities. Those are sometimes very wise, and it’s often the kind of wisdom we’ve come to expect children with old souls to have in fiction. But never abandon reason when following sensibilities, and do not apply them in bad faith. Do not center in your ethos more than you center in good; that way lies delusion. It is goodness that feeds ethos its only true glamour. Do not forget that evil usually has bad intentions, and those should be avoided too. True sensibilities do not wish to do evil nor fall prey to evil.
Good is what has good outcomes for and in the Universe, including the fate of our world, and adheres to morals and ethics. Evil is not good enough.
The average person wants to live in and contribute to a society with less guile and less toxicity: as little as possible guile and as little as possible toxicity seems to describe halcyon times.
