Perceiving evil is a paradox and realizing that there is no evil within your reality is one of the great learnings of the Creator of Itself. The Creator is not evil, you are not evil, others are not evil, no portion of your reality ever is evil. You have the freedom to misperceive that there is evil, but awareness that aligns itself with unity won't see evil because to see evil is to misperceive things. You have linked evil with extreme selfishness, well there is no true selfishness either. Selfishness is an illusion and paradox, just like evil. Every single time you believe someone is selfish, you are misunderstanding them and the cause and effect of their imbalances which is without selfishness. If you see the Creator as non-dual selflessness that is considerate of both self and other-selves in the most fair fashion, then you understand that seeming selfishness is simply considerate of things you perceive not and which you fail to understand the balance of it's conditions through which selflessness manifest itself for you to see.
Extreme selfishness and extreme selflessness (martyrdom) are simply two great states of imbalance . One steps upon the portions of creation it is less intimate with, while the other steps upon the portion of creation it is most intimate with, both because of a state of imbalance in their awareness.
You said you believe there is no greater illumination to find in perceiving no evil, well I think that is really plain wrong. The realization of perceiving no evil is probably one that is most freeing realization one can have that has most potential to boost your positive polarity. It's literally allowing yourself to incarnate a default postive feedback of your reality, even when you perceive seeming-negativity. Not to speak that to perceive no evil is the easiest shortcut out of any state you would consider to be evil, it's really to make the choice to see the light where light is what there is to see.
I think what you said about the moral compass is the most misguided portion of what you said. First off, you can't really draw any objective line by asking a whole bunch of completely confused people with little understanding of both themselves and others. Secondly, the moral compass you speak is ever in relation to your unconscious. When you infringe, you really just step upon your own feelings (others are a mirror upon yourself), this is why infringement is a somewhat abstract concept, it ever only truly relates to yourself. So is there an objective line? No, there is none but within yourself you should have an illusionary subjective one that is delimited by your inner feelings and understanding of your reality and this is what is used to either polarize toward the positive or the negative. This line also is ever shifting and evolving until your resolve all paradox and it is no more.
I think the cold/warm analogy is a tad off, cold is a subjective degree of warmth that is not pleasant to the self. So this analogy makes sense in that you can feel something to be infringement (cold), while an other-self perceives the same action as positive (hot), just like someone who lives in the South would think a given tempurature is cold while someone who lives in the North would consider the same as hot. That's a bit my point about the moral compass, it's just your subjective perception of what is objectively nothing but unity.
Suffering certainly is not the price of illumination, it is part of what is sought.
