What if God had not made sadness or pain; what would joy or pleasure be like? Let us suppose he never made things hard; what satisfaction would be gained from doing anything? Or how about if there were no poverty? How then, would we learn to appreciate anything? What if God still sent burning bushes; would it really make a difference to most people? Out of the entire nation of Israelites who witnessed his power first-hand, only a handful remained faithful and were allowed to enter the promised land.
What if God himself answered every question you could think of? If you knew all the answers, why would you need to experience or learn things, or live for that matter?
I wonder how fast this is gonna get reported...

Interesting indeed. I am a what if person. duality is a necessary evil. A live wire has no mercy. There is no choice in only freedom.No light without darkness.I often wonder what the creator was thinking when all this came to be.Deep thought thanks for asking .

It shouldn't get reported, and they're good points.
But at a time there wasn't poverty, sadness, pain, or other stuff, and God didn't need to come in a bush but we saw Him face to face. Adam and Eve experienced it.

Why would anyone report You for asking a question, or for saying what is on Your mind? Has political correctness finally come to that?
If things were different then, Yes, things would indeed be different. But They are not, so We just have to muddle through somehow, don't We?

I don't need the amount of pain I've been given to appreciate happiness, that's for sure.
