Why does evil exist?

I personally think that the problem of evil is usually the existence of how the existence of God can be reconciled with the existence of evil in the world. The problem simply stems from basic beliefs or assumptions pertaining to the attributes of God. God is perfectly good, omniscient, and…

Does free will exist?

I believe that free will does exist. We all make a million choices in our lives and if we chose a different option then there would be a different outcome. We are all morally responsible for our choices. Not everybody believes the same as me. Some believe that we have no choices in our…

Why I write

I like reading because sometimes it helps me learn knowledge and life lessons. While reading, sometimes I imagined what happened to me when coming into the world in the story. I have the question of where the story comes from? Stories just like us, they have parents too. And the parents here are the…

Lucretius pg.47 The Nature of Things

I really liked reading this piece, something about it really spoke to me. Maybe its because I’m a hopeless romantic or something more, but it was really delightful to read. I loved the way he described Venus, however, I’m not sure if it was from the perspective of…

Lucretius

Why Does Evil Exist?

People in our world not always good, kind, or generous. Sometime inside, the kindness of that person is malignant. Like roses pretty, but if you touch them, you might bleeding because of the thorns. He or she can do anything that spirit inside told them what to do. In life, circumstances…

Lucretius page.47 — jenna

When i was reading this piece it opened my eyes in a perspective to love. How much energy and thrive we put into god's hands for him to guide us in the path of what we are capable of accomplishing. It talks about venus and mars and the underlining love between them and how only the…
