The problem of evil is a very troubling one for many people. I think a good beginning is to recognize there are two kinds of evil: moral evil and natural evil. The choices and actions of human beings can result in moral evil.
When we think of "moral" evil, it often pertains to a situation of someone doing something unconscionable, such as the rage of shootings at innocent victims in a school yard. Moral evil can also be thought of as an inaction by others who knew better. This might be someone in the school who knew of the person with the gun, but failed to report or care.
This then means moral evil results from human choices and actions.
The other kind of evil is what is considered call "natural" evil. Natural evils can be such things as earthquakes, tornadoes, and diseases not resulting from human choices. Still, the question of why arises.
For me, the two kinds of evil require different kinds of answers.
