This is a great and relevant question. Initially in my first read, I did not agree with certain concepts in the book. For example, I didn't agree with the concept of "no evil." However, your explanation and questions asked in thought-provoking manner make me see the concept in a new light. And I found myself believing it. Also, I got to understand your life philosophy better.

In the concept of "no evil," I agree that everything that happens and be, once I wouldn't have prevented, it happened because it should, and then I shouldn't considder6it evil. Believing this will allow to let go of the past that we did like, accept and move on so easily.

I still haven't come to see the view presented on "no evil." I understand most of the concept as used in the book by the author. Please share the views you found to understand this philosophical standpoint and how that resonates with you. This is to help me see different angles and understand other people's views and ideologies as regards the term, especially as it is used in the book.

Hi, Tush4Christ,

Thank you for your reply!

Code: Select all

“There is no problem with evil because there is no evil.”

Page 127/128 has this and I disagree with the statement.

Are you sure that is the very first sentence with which you disagree?

If so, it means you do not believe in God. Is that correct, do you not believe in God?

That's because even earlier on page 127, the following sentence appears, "Logic tells us that if there is an all-loving god, then there would be no evil." And you must agree that sentence if the very first sentence with you disagree isn't until the one you quoted above originally.

In other words, if the very first sentence with which you disagree is the statement, "There is no problem with evil because there is no evil," then you therefore must be an atheist, because you have agreed to such already since such is stated even earlier in the book.



With love,

Please explain this point in simple and summarised terms:

The discontent person lacking inner peace will be discontent while drinking and while sober, and hence they are likely to bounce between the two in a cycle of misery. The discontent person lacking inner peace will be discontent while binge eating and while sticking to their diet; thus they are likely to bounce between the two in a cycle of misery, desperately trying to find the key to happiness or at least something to self-medicate them with a bit of comfort in their persistent misery, the misery of not having inner peace, of not being in a truly loving relationship with their selves over time and across space built on true conscious love.

I don't agree with the following quote and found it confusing: "Even a god can accidentally create a hell with a population of one: himself."

Hi, Nati Jiniya,

Sorry, I think you posted in the incorrect topic by accident.

Did you understand every sentence in the book, "In It Together"? If not, what part did you first not understand?

When you post in the above topic, make sure to follow all the instructions in the first post of that topic about what to include (e.g. please provide your best guess(es) about what you think the sentence probably means). Make sure to only post the very first sentence that you don't understand, meaning the one that is closest to the beginning of the book.

Yes. I agree with most words used as I have been taken by the use of overcommit, over intent, and page 143 the unconditional forgiveness. It was used oppositely it makes sense if you're in a situation undeniably. This is thought-provoking and great advice. I had a personal situation but after reading page 143 everything was understood from a different perspective.
Thank you Scott
