This is certainly a
vital topic, which lends itself to an
overall one: Is evil ever necessary?
Because so much evil exists within this troubled world, one
has to wonder why. Couldn’t Creation have been better off from the get-go
without it?
This is an age-old
question, which has never been definitively
answered. Why did Adam and Eve make
choices that led to suffering? Why do big fish eat little fish? Why have wars plagued humans for
centuries? Why is there hunger and starvation
within lands of plenty?
Is free will really
worth all that pain? And, considering the countless
events that lead up to any of
our choices, does free will even exist?
Philosophy might seem
beside the point when asking political
questions. But politics divorced from philosophy
often results in shallow selfish
conclusions.
