Accept at its face value

Hello

To accept evil at its face value is to judge wrongly, and brings its natural punishment.

--- Does it mean to accept evil as it is?
  

Top answer

Hi No, I'd say it means the opposite. To take something at face value means to accept it because of how it looks, not thinking about what might be hidden If your evil is eating cakes then, taking a cake at face value, that means that it looks delicious and you eat it. But if you thought there'd be no consequence, you'd be wrong - and there'll be a natural punishment Dave
