Al-Quran says that God creates all the things in this life in pairs. Man woman, afternoon night, smart stupid, rich poor, sun moon, heaven hell, angel devil, and kindness evil. Beautiful isn' it?
Kindness would never be able to be eliminated and so does evil. Kindness is eternal and so is evil. There will always kindness and evil in this world. That's the basic rule.
The big question is... If we cann't eliminate "membinasakan" evil, what should people do as God creature? God says "Amar ma'ruf, nahi munkar", He instructs His creature to keep doing a good thing, and prevent evil in this world. He doesn't instruct His creature to eliminate either kindness or evil because it's totally His authority.
It means that human have a noble duty to optimize kindness and minimize evil in every single part of their life.
What do people think about corruption as part of evil? Yes, corruption is definitely eternal. What do people think about honesty and integrity as part of kindness? Yes, honest and integrity are definitely eternal. So let's OPTIMIZE honesty and integrity, and MINIMIZE corruption in this world.
When people want to give opinion about this world's effort fighting evil for example corruption, they MUST give an evidence and data to say wether the effort is successful or failed in order to get the best solution. Progress, developement, and failure are MEASURABLE and ACCOUNTABLE. It can be calculated statictically by using standardized measurement and variable.
To say an effort is scuccessful or failed WITHOUT evidence and data is totally unethical, unacceptable, and humiliating "fitnah". So let's learn to be wise in giving a statement or thought as God creature. God suggests His creature to always become POSITIVE thinker "khusnudhon" than NEGATIVE thinker "suudhon" in life. To be POSITIVE thinker doesn't mean that people don't care with evil. To be POSITIVE thinker brings people to keep OPTIMIZING kindness and MINIMIZING evil. Thinking positively  also brings peaceful life in a society because no more humilation "fitnah" for every single God creature. That would be a wonderful and beautiful life, if people can respect each other.
Javanese proverb says "Those who grow seed of kindness will pick the sweetness of kindness". So Let's optimize kindness and minimize evil.
Let's optimize Integrity, Professionalism, Inovation, and Team Work... Believe that God will always guide and protect us... And see the beauty of heaven...
