Coming from my Jewish view point. I understand part of that statement. The opposite of Heaven is not Hell but non existence. The Jewish Mystics believed that there was no such thing as Evil. Only miss guided good. I am not able to get my mind around anything other than the idea that "What Hitler did" was anything but evil. Some would say though that by killing over 10 Million people he stopped over population of the earth.
In Shiatsu class we are taught about Yin/Yang. One is part of the other and one can not exist w/o the other. Good can not exist w/o bad,

I disagree. To cheat someone the victim needs to innocent. To steal one needs a product of virtue (hard work) that can be stolen. To kill - a life. Evil people or deeds must rely on the fruits of virtue and the compliance of good people. Good does not need evil. It may provide a chance to *do* good but good does not need evil.
