note: this blog was a draft from a long time ago which was for some reason unpublished.
There is no predetermined harmony between truth and human well-being.
--Nietzche(?)
This sentence struck me because up until then I did not realize that I expected the universe to be kind. That was fourteen years ago and a notion I have thoroughly integrated. It came to mind again when reading about other peoples' thoughts on God. The term "omnibenevolence" came up more than once and while initially puzzled, I realized these people believed the God was on their side. It's the same error behind the question "If there is a God then why is there pain in suffering in the world?"
