We need evil in the world, to understand what it is to be good.
There has to have been War, in order for us to know what Peace is.
There has to be sadness in the world, so that we can appreciate happiness.
We have to experience the negative, so we can see that we need to have the positive.
There cannot be one without the other, they define each other. Yin and Yang.
As far as i see it, we are meant to take a journey through life, not to have everything done for us, for us to become dependent on a higher being to maintain a perfect world, like a spoilt child unable to fend for itself.
We have been granted intelligence and wisdom, so that we can fight and strive to change our own world, right the wrongs, make a difference, its what drives humanity to do great things, this is the gift we've been given by God, its down to us to use it correctly.
People all throughout history, have had to witness these terrible diseases, painful losses, the suffering, pain, misery, and its what has driven pretty much every medical breakthrough, cure, development to come to be, and is still doing that, there are men and women out there dedicating their entire lives into stopping all of these things from happening to us. People are doing such great things for humanity because of the suffering they have had to experience in some way.
