Loss of connection to God, whilst knowing God exists. "The blood is the life, and it shalt be mine!"
Not being able to resolve the problem of induction, without empirical observation.
As for the specific metaphysical causes and concept, I'm unsure. -

I mean he'd be really screwed, if there was a grate on the end of that pipe.

@Yellow_Girl That was about salvation. And not mastering the mess he was in.

@John Iverson In the UK the Liberal Democrats in a general election, about a decade a go said that they would oppose Tuition fee increases for University. No only did they go back on their promise, they made no effort to oppose the increase, abstaining against the Conservatives, who had a enough votes anyway. Tuition fees went from £3,000 to £9,000.
Nihilistically speaking why would they do anything, but pad their own pockets, if they do not accept any ultimate structure to reality, known as God. And instead lie, even if they deliver on paper, in reality what they deliver is often worse then if no changes had been made.
Even with stage Blue at least some of what is written, is correct and not just dogma or doctrine. The problem there is picking and choosing. With Orange, it is thy own will be done. A person, is still a mix, and not a meme.
I means there's that Charles Dickens Novel "Great Expectations". No idea, as to the plot. -
@John Iverson You can't force people to do good for the benefit of all. What they say and what they do are two different things. You can however shoot them, in a duel(or used to). If they're not going to stake their life or soul on it. And do whatever regardless, voting is largely pointless. Still vote by all means, have zero expectations.

@moon777light
In ancient China, A Military "General" would dress in Black, Yin. His Lieutenant in White, Yang. Yes surrendering is Yin(formless). Preserving life Yang(form). Think of a wedding, The Groom traditionally dresses in Black, The Bride in white.
If you want the "Now" how can it be formless? -
@Yellow_Girl 3,000 books. Quite a few.
You ever read Christopher Langan's works? I found his essays on "The Art of Knowing" helpful. Explained a lot of what I intuitively felt looking at philosophy for a bit. His Cognitive Theorectical Model of the Universe is a bit hard for me to process. But the essays were straightforward enough.
Always looking for better, or different information.

The possibility of evil is implied by that of good. Where “good” is defined on the structure of global reality – and this is ultimately the only real way to define it – the absence of a good | evil distinction would mean that reality is structureless. But as we can easily observe that reality has structure, such a distinction must exist, which implies that both good and evil must exist. In short, good is that which is globally consistent with the structure of reality, and evil is the opposite.
In the CTMU, God is defined as the Ultimate Reality. So good is that which accords with God, and evil is the opposite. Very simple.
-------------------
Love, to be meaningfully defined, is NEVER unconditional. Meaningful definitions require conditions; that’s a rule of semantics that cannot be overcome by wishful thinking.
------------------------
In the CTMU, evil is ultimately defined as a virulent self-negation imperative. The application to self-hating progressives is really quite natural.

A few quotes, by Christopher Langan. -
Isn't that more sub-contracting?

Depends what you mean by Evil. "Pure Evil" as deprivation, in the Plotinus sense, doesn't exist. And that is the point.
Evil as absence from God, doesn't exist either. If this is the "Best of All possible Worlds." and Evil is merely discomfort. How can it be, when all there is ,is God.What if Evil is a vector.
If Evil doesn't exist. Then does Good exist?
Evil as I've said, doesn't exist to or in, a Pantheist or Atheist. Even theism or stoicism has problems with evil being dualistic.
God(s)
God the Father. "In whom no there is no Darkness". In which case there can be no Evil.
Gnostic God/Holy Spirit? In which all things are possible.
Satan.
Psychedelics. "This flame will burn away the darkness, burn you the way to paradise!" - Conan the Barbarian.

@Leo Gura The Buddhist Nagarjuna you recommended thought so. Is there a better one?
THE COMMENTARY OF MANNERS CALLED THE TREE OF WISDOM
(I DO) OBEISANCE TO THE THREE DEITIES.
1. Evil persons should be brought under control.
The wise should be reverenced.
Fill your treasury with honest deeds
(And) protect your own countrymen.
2. (As regards) your own secrets and those of others,
If you guard these as your own dear child
He for whom all earthly things are equal
Will make love for man the principal affection.
3. If your wife is evil and your friend evil,
If the King is evil and your relatives evil,
If your neighbour is evil and the country evil,
(Then) abandon them for a distant (land).
