Many people believe a divine, omnipotent and loving creature created all that is. However the question’s often asked as to why it apparently also created opportunities for experiences that range between irritating and evil.
Whilst I don’t suggest I have the answers, and I strongly suggest you think for yourself, I’m pleased to offer the following musings in order that we consider the idea.
One story that offers an interesting perspective goes like this.
Once upon a time there was said to be a nameless indivisible creator that put together a place in space upon which we exist. Its intention was to play a game it might have named “Curious Evolution”, so it mixed up a range of life forms in order to enjoy what would become.
From the outset it empowered an overseer to steward this unfolding. A coach and team manager in one if you will!
Now this gentle, generous manifestation thought to do its job with distinction but after a considerable time things had not much progressed and so it sought assistance from the authorising agency that had constructed the whole shebang.
On attending to the situation the Creator could see the problem. The overseer had been too zealous in ensuring all was perfect. It had in effect held us too tightly in a paradise where all was ever well.
As such we were unable to choose beauty since there wasn’t an ugly alternative. There wasn’t really free choice!
To adjust this situation the Creator tweaked things a little in order to ensure that ugly was on the options list.
Awful activities are essential options in an existence that contains free will and learning. In purely pragmatic terms I invite you to honour your own freedom of choice to think for yourself and act as you believe is truly good.
Forgive the presence of darkness. Its existence is an important option if we’re to learn to lean towards the light.
IF IT WASN'T FOR THE REALLY BAD THINGS YOU WOULDN'T GET A CHANCE TO CHOOSE GOOD! SO FORGIVE YOURSELF THE FOOLISH THINGS YOU'VE DONE. AND FORGIVE THE OTHERS WHO ARE SUFFERING FROM THEIR POOR CHOICES! THE FUTURE IS WIDE OPEN TO DO BETTER :)

all suffer. pretending otherwise is the greatest pain
in our pantheon of earthly lives,we've all behaved badly
when another same soul does 'evil" we all share the lesson... and the burden of shame
hide from pain and it tracks you down . and the longer it tracks you the more pissed it becomes:)
stand strong in love is the miracle in which we live and in judgement cruel and high do we die
hotter the battle ;sweeter jah victory
halleluya
<3 i would admit life without it wouldn't have a good story line and would make learning quite boring. only problem i have with the dark, is with the dark there has to be suffering which i can not stand but again we all have to experience all these things in life to make us what we are and to help us achieve. but i hate that idea. :/
