Do you think good always triumphs over evil?I can not figure it out

Philosophy presents itself in such a response.  Be prepared to assess differing conceptions of answers here.  I am not sure if good always triumphs over evil.  The term "always" is probably where I feel there is the most amount of ambiguity.  I would suggest that the personal set of beliefs an individual has might help them understand or conceive of an answer to such a question.  Good, the concept of it, is pitted in many a situations against evil, and there is some battle between them.  Depending on how one believes in the idea of spirituality, religion, the presence or absence of a divine power, is where the answer might be.  For example, if one believes in a higher power, then there is the belief that evil might win at occasional moment, but it is part of a larger configuration where such instances are balanced out by a grander design.  At the same time, if individuals do not believe in this higher power, evil might win, in general.  This might be where an exercise in pure philosophy resides.
