We don't have to be extremely good or extremely evil, our only purpose is to live somewhere in the middle. So what is made maximally good, I suppose, is our peace of mind. Of course, not everyone lives in a state of psychological rest, but they should, since God gave us free will with the intention of us choosing the middle path. Bad things happen when people go to extreme lengths.(August 17, 2021 at 6:12 pm)Ahriman Wrote: You mean like, what does it prove about God? His omnipotence, I suppose?
No, I mean what is made maximally good ('best') if that assumption is true?
