"St. Augustine says that evil is the absence of good." Is this the way you believe?

The tag line quote is from a previous post and not wanting to hijack that question but being interested in the point of view of others, I thought I would ask.
I do not personally believe it is this simple: Evil is the absence of Good or conversely, Good is simply the absence of Evil.
Either way it seems you are defining one attribute with the other without actually defining either one. Kind of like Justice Stewarts thoughts on pornography; that is was hard to define but that he knew it when he saw it.
What do you think, is evil the absence of good?
Is there a state that is neither evil nor good but just is?
