And in my deepest grief I feel the abursurdity of existence acutely. IMHO there are reasonable ways to ponder the problem, such as Liebnitz's "Best of All Possible Worlds" defense, weak sauce tho it may be. Personally, I accept that creation must be imperfect since God alone can be perfect. But one does wonder why it must still be so miserable.
Why must the creation of a perfect creator be imperfect? How can a perfect creator create anything less than perfect? It is, after all, allegedly "perfect."
