    I was listening to some fellows chat, and, they were having a discussion about evil and suffering. it started off all right, then took a turn for the worst as far as i am concerned, i had no idea what to think.

    So, i am left with this question to post as a ante. i reckon the suffering comes in two forms, physical and social. on the one head we have a person that cannot walk, and on the other we have some form of socio evils coming from the choices of others, of course.

    This physical suffering, it comes from 'reactions.' when someone falls on the trail up the mountain, they will hurt themselves, yes? this is a form of suffering, and, it comes from all the things that led up to it, the workings of the world, of course/ our world merely reacts, but it does so 'by choice,' as if you were to plot all the chemicals in the world, we could predict where pain will occur, or, if we look and listen, where it is, yes? it is in our power to alleviate suffering, as was jesus role in this huge world.

    If you were to observe that social suffering is about some, rather than doing good, doing something against others, this is illegal, like defying the ten commandments. god has told us not to do these things, yet, he will not stop us from doing them. this has nothing to do with free will, rather, that it is about the evil we embrace anyway that we would if we had free will, so, the illusion of free will is there. we feel free, but, god, as a manifestation of conscious, is vague, as, if he were stronger, we would be stopped, of course.

    This means god is not omni anything, as then everything would be bent to his will, although he has laid it out for us all to behold, as he is beholding it, his creation. it is not that he does not care, it is that he is confused, and, the things he made to hunt, hunt, the things to be hunted, get hunted, and, they all embrace the most natural sources of incentive that they can.
