Hi again everyone....I learn alot from these discussions, and personally I think discussing topics like these help to aid what you would call a person's spiritual evolution..

So for the topic we've discussed so far, here's another point to throw in, if no one minds...

What if evil and good are advanced concepts?

There may have been a time when humans, being cavemen, or very primitive had no concept whatsoever of evil or good.. they may have simply stole when they wanted, killed when they wanted, ect. Only when humans evolved more and started classifying these actions and the affects it had on others did it start to become under control.


If there is no evil or good, or concept of right or wrong then what would be the need to have an afterlife review in the first place? (As far as what the person's victims have felt)

What if then a person who does commit certain acts never reincarnates as a victim who experiences what the victim went through, but simply goes on to experience a safe, healthy and wealthy peaceful life in his or her's next life?

Would those who believe in karma feel comfortable about this?

One of the things we as humans do is take things in the physical universe and classify them by concept, like that low energy, fatigue, can't keep eyes open sensation someone feels when they've been active for over 17 hours.. we call it "sleepy" or "tired" ..the opposite is "awake" and "alert" or simply, "not sleepy"..

Another example are those people that get up on a stage in front of an audience and tell funny stories and jokes to get the audience to laugh... we classify them as comedians... We also classify their jokes as funny and not funny... or appropriate and not appropriate...

And taking that into account, would we mind then if an adult comedian goes to elementary school and performs in front of 6 to 12 year olds and makes very adult jokes involving sex, bad language and other things?

Should we deny that there is no such thing as comedy and funny or what is not funny?

And why do I sound like a philosphy major all of the sudden?

Anyway please enjoy the discussion, tell me something I don't know yet, and take care, have a nice weekend everyone...
