This question is inspired by The Brothers Karamazov authored by F. Dostoevsky. There are times when people suffer, yet there is surely a sense in which they are innocent. At the very least, people sometimes endure evil when it clearly is not their fault. For instance, a Christian may have his wallet stolen and be assaulted in the process. Is this suffering and other worse evils worth an eternity of bliss?

If you were to die from something PLEASANT, what would you want it be?

hypothetical examples:

*laughing to death
*heart attack during orgasm
*choking on the best meal you have ever tasted in your life

Choose any demise you want, it does NOT have to be from my list, it just has to be an oxymoronic demise: that is, it has to be something normally considered harmless and pleasant!

Reverend Price Senior Pastor of the Faith Dome on Vermont Avenue in Los Angeles was quoted in an advertisment as saying "I always obey God that is why I succeed at everthing I do", this leads to three (3) Philosophical questions the last one being the most difficult!, First (1st) If I (downtown)always obey God, Will I also succeed at everthing I do? Second (2nd) If you always obey God will you succeed at everthing you do? and last; How do you explaian the fact that there are some people who do succeed at everthing they do but it's doubfull that they always obey God? Does The fact that there are some pepole who succeed at everything they do INVALIDATES and PULLS THE RUG out of Reverend Price's Quote?

This question is because I was curious and it's for all of you to express yourself. I, personally, have told the one I love how I feel. I don't understand why others can't.

why ?

2007-04-09 09:02:40 · 18 answers · asked by foxylady 5

My confidence drops so low that my A's become D's.
I think as myself as stupid, unreliable, mrs. nobody.
I think of myself as the ugliest young lady on this planet.
I think about dropping out of college and loosing my scholarship.
This has affected my relation with the people around me. I'm not the strong person I was. People use to ask me for advice. I was a kind of role model. Now, I'm in a state of confusion and I don't enjoy college anymore.
When is this going to end?

I was thinking. Close your eyes for a minute, and think of a world where there is no war, hate, sadness, or any kind of things to make you sad, depressed, angry or painful emotions or feelings.


Now. If there is no war, pain or sadness, then it would be peaceful right? Full of love? I dont think so, because if there is no pain, there is no gain. If you take pain and war away, then you have to automatically take away: Jealousy, Envy, Lust, Anger, Greed, Grief, and everything that could cause them.

But if you dont have that. then you cant have love. Because how would you know what love is if you dont have anything to compare it to. You can you be happy if you dont know what sad is. There would be no decisions. because everyone would feel the same, and by feeling the same, you become totally numb, and everyone would be the same.

So pain and war are a phase that humans must go through, because without sad, there is no happy

There is no Tall without Short

I was Dead before I was Born? Some of you experts will go back to the related universe-Big Bang argument, But even the big Bang had to be created? Matter does not create it self, Repeat nothing can manifest on its own
