However I have a conflict with some of the information. It is hard for me to integrate the idea that infinite intelligence would create a density with so much pain and suffering. In all that I've read thus far...on number 87 as of now. It seems the only explanation is it is a greater catalyst for evolution. But if there are no mistakes and infinite intelligence is forever what's the hurry? Why is hurrying the process even seen as valuable? Is this dealt with in any of the questionings? It just is starting to read like this is a game to "God" or perhaps God is sado/masochistic? and I'm not finding an answer for this in any of the readings. Can anyone help!! thanks.
Quote:“If there is a meaning in life at all, then there must be a meaning in suffering. Suffering is an ineradicable part of life, even as fate and death. Without suffering and death human life cannot be complete.https://www.artofmanliness.com/articles/...he-bitter/
The way in which a man accepts his fate and all the suffering it entails, the way in which he takes up his cross, gives him ample opportunity — even under the most difficult circumstances — to add a deeper meaning to his life. It may remain brave, dignified and unselfish. Or in the bitter fight for self-preservation he may forget his human dignity and become no more than an animal. Here lies the chance for a man either to make use of or to forgo the opportunities of attaining the moral values that a difficult situation may afford him. And this decides whether he is worthy of his sufferings or not.” -Viktor Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning
