Quote of the day no.1:
No fact is self-interpreting.

Quote of the day no.2:
Majority does not decide what is right,
Majority recognizes what is right.

Quote of the day no.3:
The woman is not an after-thought of God,
She is an after-act of God.

Quote of the day no.4:
My idea of God is too small;
My idea of Self is too big.

Of Good, Evil and God
Student:
Good exists and so does Evil. And if Evil is the opposite of Good, and Evil is finite, then Good is finite too. If God is Good, and Good is finite, then God is finite.
Mr LT: Are you sure that Evil exists as the opposite of Good?
(Mr LT pauses)
Mr LT: Let me put it this way, this room is too well-lit or too bright. I want to make this room darker. How do I do it?
Student: Switch off the lights...
Mr LT: Do you switch on darkness? No... there is no darkness that exists independently on its own.
Student: And so...
Mr LT: Darkness is an Absence of light. Similarly, Evil does not exist apart from Good. Evil is an absence of Good.
Student: If God is infinite, and Evil is the absence of Good... then...
(Student has more to think about now)

JT's concluding remarks:
Evil exists as the absence of Good.
Good does not exist as the absence of Evil because Good pre-exists.

Blown away? Have something to say? Tag!
