Everyone wants this world to be a pleasant place to be. A world without fights, without war, without poverty. The question is not whether such a world can exist or not? But the question is, is such a world really a good place to be? I doubt it. If there were no crimes, many people such as police, lawyers, judges, etc would be out of jobs. If there were no thieves, locks and doors would no longer be manufactured. If wives and husbands never had fights, lawyers would never make money out of their divorce. If everyone was healthy, medical companies and hospitals would be out of business. If every child could learn on their own because they were very intelligent, there would be no teachers. If everyone had everything in abundance, man would lose the zeal to aspire. The truth is, we all need each other, no matter whether we play the role of a bad guy or a good guy. If everything was good, there would be no failures, no one would be an underdog to give this world stories of valor and triumph. No one would be an inspiration or a role model because they never struggled against odds. There would be no one for us to cheer and encourage. Existence and experience of 'bad' is what creates the anticipation of 'good' which is what gives us hope in life. Remember, even the great Sun that gives us the light of life is hidden from us every night only to come back to light up our day. But when the Sun sets, God gives us the beautiful view of the Moon which we will miss if there was no darkness at all.
