A question, that many people ask, why is there so much pain and suffering, war and genocide, hate and hurt in the world. You may have a tendency to blame god, knowing that he could get rid of it all in an instant. So why does god let us suffer? Well if you are christian, or any branch off of Christianity then i have a very convincing reason of, WHY? now when god created adam and eve, he created them perfect, without flaw, and we know this to be true. We also know that circumstances came to be in which temptation came along and adam and eve came to know both good and bad, they knew of death and destruction, and in the years to come the earth was populated with men and women knowing pain, and suffering, lies deceitfulness, and it seemed there was no end to the mutiny. Do you not think the people back then ask the same question of why god allows this suffering? then you realize the amount of war, killing, death, and turmoil nowadays, would trump the past in comparison. The truth is, that god wants you to know both sides of the story, just as a great debater, would know the pros of what he supports, as well as the cons, so that he may know of any counter argument to come against his cause and be able to justify what he supports. a great man once said “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.” When you realize this, youll know that god is not punishing us for making a choice, he is teaching us, he is teaching us that to know goodness, we must know evil, so that when we are perfect again, and if we come to be tested/ tricked we will know what is whats right, we will know who to listen to, we will know, that no mistake has to happen for us to learn. I can only assume that the earth will come to harder and more troubling times in the future, but hear my words, and know this, no mistake must occur for us to learn what is true, and as opposed to knowing thy enemy also love thy enemy just as you would love thyself, for that you will not need to fear anything, for battles, will be nothing, war will be eradicated, and peace and love will flourish throughout the earth.
