Why must things be hard?
Hard is a comparison, and is natural. Faith will carry you through hardship. Faith in God, in freedom to love, in dignity, in defiance of evil, in the purpose of innocence.
2. Why isn't everything perfect?
Completion ends events. New and renewing challenges give us a chance to show and commune in love. The more we conquer imperfection, the more happier we become.
3. Why is there evil?
Evil is literally the past, the pre-perfection. The universe has much to go! To know and experience how to triumph is the greatest gift of God! Evil's ignorance is a shallow bluff, they are wretched at every good and freedom! Do not mourn for evil!
Can you be a hero? Isn't anything worth that? Validation of Justice? Evil is natural. Love is Supernatural. Work together!
We have challenge and reward. We need challenge to feel reward. When things get too tough, regroup to positive perspective of thanks and hope. One can always hope for heaven, for friendship, for defiance of evil, for honor and justice.
Anything physical requires pieces and methods to form and form with. Anything Metaphysical already exists or needs physics to change with it. It requires the definition behind reality. If things were a simulation of perfect conditions, there would be no perspective for us. No souls.
Does not this physical universe reflect the values in our hearts? Aren't our souls safe anyway? Can we show God our best effort with what we are given? Did you ever learn something you were grateful for? What are you passionate about? Truth, Beauty, Justice?
When there are consequences we can show heroism. Dwell on the courage of God! Strength through Justice. So I guess the purpose of life is demonstration of love. This is our best opportunity. It is the arena, the stage, the dojo, the garden. If this is hell, it is a hell we can change. An earthly paradise, not for itself, but as a demonstration of love (to admire, to dedicate, to sacrifice, to enjoy, to further), is worthwhile. You could call it vanity, I call it affection, affirmation. This world is imperfect, created by a perfect God, therefore perfection must come out of it. Further, it is training, forging. Love can be expressed by Justice, Arts, Sciences, and Freedoms.
Seven reasons why God lets evil happen:
So that we can know the other extremity: Good
Because we are responsible for evil and reform
To bring out character and truth (self-sacrifice)
Including His own!
To make us more like Him- total commitment to Justice
God made the Devil before you
We will redeem him and all other sinners
So we will fear no more
Because evil was always a possibility
So then we can exercise creativity in Harmony
Why Christ died for us:
-To prove He is the Son of God, with power over death (to us and to spirits)
-To prove He is committed to our salvation even with such pain
-To free souls from hell (He brings life to all!) He paid the natural debt of "eye for eye" and established forgiveness. He bought us and freed us.
Why does God impose conditions that are imperfect?
-To conquer them and show us how
Pain needs conquered not by sensual pleasure but by intellectual pleasure (Love, Truth, Wisdom, Courage, Justice). Might does not make right; True sacrificial love makes right.
-To prove values (this is a world of knowledge); compatibility
-To teach us trust and commit in Him
In other words, to appreciate God and His creation through wisdom.
Why We Are Here
We wanted wisdom and now God gives us responsibility and love.
While you’re here you should learn:
Faith
Hope
Love
Discipline
Consequences
Merit
Improvement
God knows the ingredients to success.
The better we try the closer we are to God
God is perfect as in problemless
We are imperfect in an imperfect world to prove to all that all can be perfect: Salvation
We have free will so we can love and you cannot force free will
Therefore, God rather wants love and imperfection instead of perfection and loneliness.
Why God is the best
First of all, can you do better? One, in your current state, can you do better? Two, if you were All-knowing, All-powerful, All-present, and All-good, could you do better?
Obviously no for the first question. Can one make paradise? It seems physically possible. Complete safety, endless entertainment, comfort, good company, perfect pleasure. Some believe we had it in the Garden of Eden. Why bother with imperfection?
Would it destroy you to know that perfection comes after a process? And that you will be lucid during this process? You might even learn something during this stage and grow ever fonder of God when it is complete? What have you got to lose? Can you trust Him? All-powerful does imply conditions because there is relation to all other acts and states. It’s a matter of definitions. Also, God knows our nature as love but our thoughts and decisions are not all made yet, and because we are free we are a mystery. God is merely well prepared.
God gave us pain, and by It we know what isn’t compatible with our bodies. It is not completely avoidable, especially in old age. For some it is unbearable, but we should discover what helps us get through it. I get through it with hope. Hope for Heaven with loved ones near. Hope for a just and noble history. For honesty more than comfort. For Wisdom, Courage, and Victory.
If this world isn’t Heaven yet, then what are we to do in the meantime? Forge your willpower. Correct your errors. Discover truth and wisdom. Reassure yourself with courageous and humble acts that will inspire others. Most of all, love one another and unlock the future that is Heaven. Commune with God by loyalty, attention, care, and affection.
We pray to announce God's victory through salvation. In God We Trust.
