[QUOTE="Ambarsaria, post: 143885, member: 14194"] jasbirkaleka ji, you set up a trap and some one walked right in. That line about "God creating bad to teach value of Good" is a much abused concept used by many religions and preachers to rope in the meek, keep them on the defensive and rule them. Hinduism has this as foremost at the core, with Brahmins coming in to fleece/control/manipulate and provide so called avoidance of possible bad or abundance of good fortune as intermediaries to God of your choosing. However [I]"you should not throw baby out with the bath water"[/I]. Consider that if the planners and scientists whether believing in God, Buddhism, Sikhism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Atheism or nothing at all had considered the following in inhabiting and developing that area, [LIST] [*]No inhabitation or structure withing first 3 miles of the shore line [*]Nuclear stations to be located at least 3 miles inside of the shoreline [LIST] [*]It would have meant more development expenses [*]At lakes, rivers and oceans are locations of choice for ready supply of cooling water but one has to recognize all that is reasonably predictable and perhaps spend more [/LIST] [*]Unfortunately hindsight is 20/20 [*]Humans and other life always have to use wisdom (that continuously improves and evolves) and live in consonance of the one truth that surrounds us (Sikhism) as one we are part of, [/LIST] An excerpt from the above, [LIST] [*][SIZE=3][COLOR=navy]ਨਿਰਭਉ [/COLOR][/SIZE] [LIST] [*][SIZE=2][COLOR=navy]Truth prevails without fear [/COLOR][/SIZE] [LIST] [*][SIZE=2][COLOR=navy][COLOR=Red][I]i.e. it may appear ruthless, unfair to the subjects[/I][/COLOR][/COLOR][/SIZE] [*][SIZE=2][COLOR=navy][COLOR=Red][I]Example: Musings, [/I][/COLOR][/COLOR][/SIZE] [LIST] [*][SIZE=2][COLOR=navy][COLOR=Red][I]How could a loving God do this?[/I][/COLOR][/COLOR][/SIZE] [*][SIZE=2][COLOR=navy][COLOR=Red][I]How could a God who can create perfect world allow this to happen[/I][/COLOR][/COLOR][/SIZE] [LIST] [*][SIZE=2][COLOR=navy][COLOR=Red][I]say Perfect world as defined by Jasbirkaleka ji[/I][/COLOR][/COLOR][/SIZE] [LIST] [*][SIZE=3][COLOR=navy][COLOR=Red][I][SIZE=2]God need to listen uplol[/SIZE] [/I][/COLOR][/COLOR][/SIZE] [/LIST] [/LIST] [/LIST] [/LIST] [/LIST] [*][SIZE=3][COLOR=navy]ਨਿਰਵੈਰੁ[/COLOR][/SIZE] [LIST] [*][SIZE=2][COLOR=navy]Truth prevails without animosity[/COLOR][/SIZE] [LIST] [*][SIZE=2][COLOR=navy][COLOR=Red][I]Why does'nt God/the one creator get rid of all the bad people everywhere instead of these or other innocent people[/I][/COLOR][/COLOR][/SIZE] [*][SIZE=3][COLOR=navy][COLOR=Red][I][SIZE=2]The truth is "in consonance" and its violation is fraught with issues near time or far time[/SIZE] [/I][/COLOR][/COLOR][/SIZE] [/LIST] [/LIST] [/LIST] [COLOR=navy][SIZE=4][COLOR=Red][SIZE=3][COLOR=Black][B][U]The Solution[/U]:[/B] [/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR] [LIST] [*][SIZE=2][COLOR=navy][COLOR=Red][COLOR=Black]The one creator has given us wherewithals to [COLOR=Red][I][U]live in consonance[/U][/I][/COLOR] with everything around, above-below, near-far and chaging in time.[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/SIZE] [LIST] [*][SIZE=2][COLOR=Red]We need to understand and act accordingly.[/COLOR][/SIZE] [/LIST] [*][COLOR=navy][SIZE=4][COLOR=Red][SIZE=3][COLOR=Black][SIZE=2]What surrounds us is limitless so there will be errors in understanding with possible consequences and turmoil.
