Recommended: Importance of intellectual development to early childhood education

Intellectual development should start at birth and end only at death. "Albert Einstein

We exist and we want to know love, because we were born out of love and want to get out of this world with her. Love makes us discern between good and evil, good being the natural state of our nature, and evil - a state we gain whenever neglect good. We exist and we want to know the goodness of soul, because only she can make us live in harmony. We talk about diseases as evil that could be because we do not live in harmony with divine laws, which many of us do not know, ignore others, most notably the law of love, then the other: the law of adaptation, acceptance temperance, morality, of gratitude, etc.

But knowledge requires learning, feeling and understanding. Intensive Teaching, leadsto endowing the mind, open the wings of knowledge, such as bird wings open up to contain the air, and freedom of thought and expression of everything that we feel can lead to understanding. We can thus release and fear from our hearts, because nothing has frightened and do not frighten people more than what they do not understand.

Teaching about us and our world is the wealth for which it pays to strive to obtain it, and it cannot be stolen, since you acquired it, it is yours and it can make your life more beautiful and the world more beautiful, because beauty is the sum of the whole beauty of its component parts.

Our world is designed mathematically. Perhaps God saw that this world can be built based on some mathematical rules developed by the beauty of imagination related to the arts. A secret geometry underpins everything that we encounter in nature, in every flower, leaf, stone, etc. Philosophers of science have said that "The language that is writte...

... amplified and can lead to real disaster. People are bitter, eager for revenge, they want to hurt or even kill souls. 'Smoke' obscures them!

What we choose for our lives? We want to be good, to live in harmony, or want to be evil, revengeful, to live in discord? Choosing beneficial spirit or evil spirit - damaging? The choice is ours, because, as has endowed us with wisdom and God gave us free will.

I conclude by pointing out a real fact: At a course of philosophy of a college student Albert Einstein, professor replied: "Evil does not exist, or at least does not exist in itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It's dark and cold, a word created by man to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is what happens when man does not love God. It's like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light. "

  • Conflict Between God And Evil Essay

    2051 Words  | 5 Pages

    It is perhaps the most difficult intellectual challenge to a Christian how God and evil can both exist. Many of the greatest minds of the Christian church and intellects such as Augustine and Thomas Aquinas spent their entire lives trying to solve this problem, and were unsuccessful (Erickson, 2009, p.439). However, this dilemma is not only an intellectual challenge, but it is emotional. Man feels it, lives it. Failing to identify the religious form of the problem of evil will appear insensitive; failure to address the theological form will seem intellectually insulting. This conundrum will never be completely met during our earthly life, but there are many biblical and philosophical resources that help mitigate it.

  • Evil is Not Inherent: A Persuasive Essay

    1147 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the world of the living, evil is not inherent and can change or influence a person’s aspect of the world based on the community they are in. Evil is the force of things that are morally wrong and the matter of suffering, wrongdoing and misfortune (Merriam Webster). Evil is not inherent because an evil community can change or influence a person’s way of thinking, can consume people the more they are relinquished to it, and can mold a person when a person has power or feel a certain way. Furthermore, evil can be claim as not inherent from reading about Josef Mengele, Stanley Milgram, and the Stanford Prison Experiment. I will persuade my point that evil is not inherent from the sources that depicts the claim of evil.

    What draws the line between good and evil? Individuals have the power to choose either one in their actions. Do factors such as a situation, the environment, or a learned behavior have an influence on human behavior? Individuals are influenced by situations which make them behave differently than normal. Individuals have the need to be accepted in society. What causes individuals to have the feeling of being accepted in society in order to fit in? The hypothesis suggests everyone is influenced by their environment and by certain situations. Society has painted the image that individuals need to be accepted by others and are willing to forget themselves in order to get accepted.

When this truth is realized, how I understand it, we also see how the truth is bliss, even when it is manifested in evil, and that the truth of real existence can be manifested as life or death. Thus we realize that all these happenings are nothing but the reflections of one existence, your real self and the reality of everything else. Only when this truth is realized is when it is possible to do true good without evil because such a person who has realized the ultimate truth has known and gotten control of the material of which both good and evil are manufactured. When he can manifest one or the other, and chooses to manifest only good, is it is true goodness. Now if only everyone can attain this level of goodness, our world would be a pure and blissful place.

    It was not until last year that I realized the answer to the little girl's question about the existence of evil. In English class last year I read Arthur Miller's play The Crucible as required reading. According to my English teacher, one theme of The Crucible was that having evil in the world is necessary to balance out the goodness. If either entity overpowered the other, they would throw off the entire balance.

  • The Problem of Evil

    1691 Words  | 4 Pages

    The presence of evil has been a conflicting view amidst various philosophers dating back thousands of years. With the belief in God across the world, an essential question arises: Since God is claimed to be omniscient, omnipotent, and all-loving, then how can there be evil in the world? Augustine of Hippo, a preeminent philosopher who was born in Algeria, North Africa in 354, had attempted to expound this significant contradiction. In 360, Augustine followed the religion of Manichaeism, which was founded by a Persian man named Mani. They believed that humankind, being a byproduct of the devil, was inherently evil and, therefore, not culpable for evil in the world. With the belief that humans were capable of free will, Augustine ultimately broke ties with the Manichaeans. Human beings as one entity of body and soul were made good by the almighty God and with their free will were able to cause evil phenomenons to occur, which rules out the idea that God is the cause of evil. Peter Kreeft was one that agreed with the ideals of Augustine and offered an answer to why God created the possibility of evil.

  • The Relationship Between God and Evil

    2975 Words  | 6 Pages

    Evil exists. This bizarre conundrum has perplexed philosophers since the dawn of civilization, and remains in hot debate today because of the theological implications inherent in the statement. To many on this planet, the source of life is an all-loving, all-powerful, omniscient god who created the universe – and all the laws therein – in seven days, as described in the Bible. And yet still, evil exists. How can these two premises be simultaneously true? Surely, an all-loving god would want to do something about this problem, and an all-powerful god could absolutely remedy a situation if it so desired. It seems as though the common perception of the Bible’s god is inaccurate. However, it could be argued that the Bible’s god is accurate, and that said perception is somewhat skewed, considering that on numerous occasions, God claims responsibility for evil. “I make peace and create evil. I the Lord do all these things.” (Isaiah 45:7). The Greek philosopher Epicurus put the Good God’s Evil puzzle in a very clear logical progression:

  • Essay On Human Nature And Free Will

    905 Words  | 2 Pages

    Human nature is about free will, and using one’s free will for good acts. We know free will exists because living things are being changed day after day. Any act, from walking across a room to deciding to eat a meal, is because of free will. We are given free will and with that, the ability to create our own, unique path in life. Free will provides human beings with freedom, judgement, and responsibility. Every human being is born with the capability to live a good, just life. However it is just as possible to live an immoral life led by bad choices. This notion of endless options in life is made possible by God’s gift of free will. No two human lives will ever be the same, because no two people will ever have the exact same experiences their entire lives. Every human being is shaped by experience, which comes from our actions, which are results of free will.
