And the same view is to be entertained of those opposing influences which have given themselves up to such places and offices, that they derive the property by which they are made principalities, or powers, or rulers of the darkness of the world, or spirits of wickedness, or malignant spirits, or unclean demons, not from their essential nature, nor from their being so created, but have obtained these degrees in evil in proportion to their conduct, and the progress which they made in wickedness. And that is a second order of rational creatures, who have devoted themselves to wickedness in so headlong a course, that they are unwilling rather than unable to recall themselves; the thirst for evil being already a passion, and imparting to them pleasure. (Book I, Chapter 8, Part 4)
Origen argues that all are created good. I agree.
Origen argues that wickedness is a choice. I agree.
Origen argues that we are punished for good choices and rewarded for bad choices. I do not entirely agree.
I agree that within creation there are patterns of cause and effect. Choose poorly - or be at the wrong place at the wrong time - and there can be punishing consequences. But I have not seen God specifically punish.
I have seen a series of wicked choices overturned by the experience of God's grace, love, and forgiveness.
