Why is there evil? As Christians, we can’t deny the fact that we sometimes tend to ask God why is there so many troubles in this world, or why are these bad things happening. Probably this is one of the greatest challenges by as Christians in which we open our eyes into the reality of evil and suffering. Even the great thinkers are baffled by the unending contradiction between the existence of a loving God and the fact of evil. But do evil and sufferings really mean that God does not exist? If there is some moral standard the critic is basing their position on, then the problem of evil becomes an argument for not against the reality of God. After all, in order to call something good or evil, there must be an underlying standard of right and wrong. Moral evil is somehow explained by the fact that human beings commit evil against one another. People lie, cheat, steal, hurt and more. This does not argue against Christianity, but instead proves te point that there is something very wrong with human nature as it now is. But what about natural evil? Why doesn’t God stop things like earthquakes and tsunamis? Paradise has been lose due to human moral shortcomings. The good news is that alright this is not the best world, it is the best way to the best possible world. Someday, God will ultimately and finally over some evil entirely. Evil and suffering can refer to not only physical pain, but emotional pain too. But couldn’t God have created a world without evil? If God had not created anything, there would be no evil. But s nothing better than something? Actually, this would be a world without morality. God knows best and, as such, He knows that our world is the best way to the best possible world. Yes, there will be evil and suffering along the way.

What is happiness? Happiness has been a controversial topic for many years now. Some people believe it is an end goal while others take it as the beginning point to greatness. Happiness is acquired through countless stimuli, whether they are material or emotional. One cannot give a general definition of happiness, due to the fact that each person has their own perception of what happiness is. We’re often told hat happiness is an illusion, an some of us believe it, despite the experience of our own lives. Happiness is obviously not an illusion, because we’ve all felt it, not once but many times. We haven’t thought about it one way or another, but now that we do, we realize we’ve been happy. That happiness occurs when we’re not paying attention to it. It is part of why happiness seems so mysterious. But it isn’t mysterious at all. We know lot about what doesn’t make you happy. As a rule, nothing you lack now will make you happy when you get it. People imagine they’ll be happy as soon as they get that real relationship, degree, marriage, or promotion. Only to obtain it and find happiness eludes them. Similarly, buying things doesn’t make anybody happy. The endless disappointments of shoppers whenever you don’t reach it’s the sale, or the new car model of the year is repeated again and again. We make our purchase, and feel happy for a while. But soon the happiness fades. The truth is that buying things particularly for yourself won’t make you happy. In fact, the more attention you brush on yourself, the more unhappy you become. Devoting a lot of attention to yourself is actually a prescription for misery. If you want to be happy, forget yourself. Losing your self-preoccupation is important. We sometimes hear about how people throw their lives away. But such people are often very happy. Of course if you care for others, if you devote yourself to some cause greater than you are, it doesn’t mean your life will be free of troubles. It does not mean you’ll have a happier time than somebody who’s always looking out for number one, or who is hurrying to buy the latest trendy-thing. So I guess real happiness is when we resolutely turn the spotlight off of you. Forget your own self-importance, your aches and pains, your feelings and fears. Instead, get busy. A little more service to others and a fewer possessions.

Do we have free will?

This question against moral responsibility seems very strong. For us human beings, the experience of choice gives rise to a conviction of absolute responsibility that is untouched by philosophical arguments. This conviction is the deep and inexhaustible source of the free will problem. Powerful arguments that seem to show that we cannot be morally responsible in the ultimate way that we suppose keep coming up against equally powerful psychological reasons why we continue to believe that we are ultimately responsible. But why should we even care whether or not people have free will? Probably the best reason for caring is that free will is closely related to two other important philosophical issues: freedom of action and moral responsibility. However, despite the close connection between these concepts, it is important not to conflate them. It has become fashionable to say that people have no free will. The evolution of free will began when living things began to make choices. The difference between plants and animals illustrate an important early step. Plants don’t change their location and don’t need brains to help them decide where to go. Animals do. Free will is an advanced form of the simple process of controlling oneself. For example, the squirrel is more complex than the tree, and it does a lot of things the tree can’t. When chased by a dog, the squirrel needs to choose which direction to run. It’s decision processes maybe simple, but it does choose, nonetheless. I believe this proves how rats learn to make choices that bring them rewards. If you think of freedom is being able to do whatever you want, with no rules, you might be surprised to hear that free will is for following rules. Free will is a far more advanced way of acting. People must inhibit impulses and desires and find ways of satisfying them within the rules. That in a nutshell, is the inner deciding process the humans have evolved. That is the reality behind the idea of free will, these processes of rational choice and self control. If you accept free will, this is what it is. If you insist on disbelieving in freewill, these are the processes that are commonly taken for it. But either way, there is a real phenomenon here. Self control counts as a kind of freedom because it begins with not acting on every impulse. The simple brain acts whenever something triggers a response. Self control furnishes the possibility of acting from rational principles rather than acting an impulse.

2. Nike Sock Dart “Independence Day”

This Nike Sock Dart that we’re here to look at today may just end up being one of the most coveted colorway yet, because it has two things going for it. First, it’s a part of the upcoming “Independence Day” pack with all-red and all-blue colorways of the popular NikeLab sneaker, which means it becomes even more collectable if you’re trying to score all three pairs. Second, it’s an all-white colorway, which is one of the hottest trends in the sneaker world right now and means they’ll be sought after by more than just the Americans trying to be patriotic. Take another look at this white-hot Sock Dart, and keep in mind they release with the rest of the Independence Day pack on July 4th. Source of info: hichem.og (Photo by @oliviergosseau on ig)

Lastly, 3. Adidas Superstars II

When the shoe was introduced, it was the first low-top basketball shoe to feature an all-leather upper and the now famous rubber shelltoe. The Superstar shoe has become part of popular youth fashion culture and are now worn regularly as casual footwear, rather than for sports. (Photo by @malinstyle on ig)
