Does The Good Outweigh The Evil?
All of Life's events have been the result of or the consequence of that event, whether they are good or evil.
Some examples being: Creation of Adam and Eve whose job it was to watch over God's creation a.
k.
a.
"The garden of Eden" First was creation of Adam to oversee the garden.
The Consequence being the experience of loneliness; this brought about the, creation of a female companion from the rib of the man, whose roll was to be a helpmate.
The second, the answer to the question, which species would dominate? Eve eating the Apple...
After Adam awakens to find this lovely helpmate, he is soon disillusioned by her eating the one piece of fruit they were forbidden to eat, an apple from the tree of good and evil.
Then, she entices him to do like wise.
Now one can and should ask what the good was and what was the evil or consequence of this action.
At first glance, we are horrified.
How could these chosen ones indulge in such a despicable action knowing full well the consequences?Yet, there they were aware naked an afraid trying to hide from their creator.
But when one examines it from the human factor, not the spiritual factor, good can be attributed to this factor.
The obvious one our ability to thinks and our free will or ability to choose.
So, might we not conclude, as every action has an equal or better reaction, that for every evil attributed to an act there is at least one good thing or more attributed to it? And more often then not, and at least under certain circumstances, the good far outweighs the evil?
