are guns, knives, swords, daggers, nun chucks, light sabers, 9-irons, etc. evil?

Are the airplanes used by 9/11 hijackers evil?

I don't think we have enough information about the TP to really say (like what the adverse effects of the addiction are), but absent this information, the TP is a weapon just like saidin or saidar. Unless you also think the latter are evil, I don't see how the TP is evil by nature. About the only bad facet I can think of about it is that it rips the pattern when Traveling, but that's just it.
