Think of how we are being programmed to want things we really don't need and how our opinions can be influenced by others who keep repeating the same message over and over.

So many people have such varied interests and things that are of importance to them in their lives. Conversely, what do you not care about -- not one iota?

If you know that something is in your best interest, but it is not what you want to do, will you still do it?

The cost of making the world a utopia is to allow a nine year old child to suffer excruciating pain constantly. Would you be willing to allow this child to suffer so the world can be a utopia? Could you do it if it were your own child that had to suffer in order for the world to become a utopia?

Either the cosmos have always existed or the cosmos had a beginning. If they have always existed the problem is that energy decreases and that if the universe were here for an eternity we would see it dying.

If the cosmos had a beginning, then how did "something" (cosmos) come from "nothing" ( pre-beginning).
