Malevolent Evil = Eye of Beholder

I invite you to a thought experiment - imagine there is only "malevolent evil" in the eye of the beholder. Imagine that in truth the "perpetrator" has the same universal underlying needs that you have, and is attempting some benevolent end - either as a gift to himself, others, or the Divine. Imagine that t's only judgment and interpretation that assesses this as either 'good' or 'evil'. What if, as "beholding eyes", we practice attending to the pain or fear underlying the judgment, and uncover the yearning trying to be voiced in us? I imagine when we do, we have an opportunity for restoring our capacity for "true sight"...increased power to affect the outcomes we desire. What do you think?
