Bring me whine, and bring me justice.?

Question

1. If evil is a figment of our imagination, then what is evil in the world?

2. If we use our imagination as the vehicle that guides our reasoning into the realm that it can not comprehend, then the imagination turns into the essence of the light of intelligence. Now, the question is, what does that us?

con·vo·lut·ed /ˈkɒnvəˌlutɪd/ –
1. twisted; coiled.
2. complicated; intricately involved: a convoluted way of describing a simple device.

Yes, it is convoluted, because I am describing God, simplicity itself, through the medium of language, and so it appears complicated or intricately involved. My enjoyment is actually seeing the process as it takes shape. It's possible.

Answer 1

Please put a cork in that whine.

Maybe you are a figment of your own imagination (mine could never get that wild).

Answer 2

it allows us to cope and gives us mental peace with the imaginary answer of what we do not comprehend.

lets take religion as an example. if evil is a figment of our imagination, one can then reason that what we perceive as evil is a test from god. this allows us to accept and cope with the evil.

this might imply that religion was made up to answer all that we do not understand, but i just put it here as an example of how the mind needs an answer to rationalize or understand the purpose of his being or existence. especially with things that we might perceive as harmful to us (evil).

Answer 3

Swedenborg states "a perception of the sphere of falsity from evil that flows forth from hell has often been granted me. It was like a perpetual effort to destroy all that is good and true, combined with anger and a kind of fury at not being able to do so, especially an effort to annihilate and destroy the Divine of the Lord, and this because all good and truth are from Him. But out of heaven a sphere of truth and good was perceived, whereby the fury of the effort ascending from hell was restrained. The result of this was an equilibrium. This sphere from heaven was perceived to come from the Lord alone, although it appeared to come from the angels in heaven. It is from the Lord alone, and not from the angels, because every angel in heaven acknowledges that nothing of good and truth is from himself, but all is from the Lord" (Heaven and Hell n. 538).

Answer 4

Next time just ask " how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?" Makes about as much sense and at least it rhymes.

Answer 5

Nice convoluted rhetoric and the uneducated won't even recognise it as total bullsh!t.

Answer 6

Everything has an opposite.
