When you truly accept that the world is the way it is because 4 billion years ago some self replicating organic molecules sprang into existence, and that natural selection has no concern for the well being of organic life and is only marginally concerned with the concept of survive & thrive, life will start making far far more sense than it ever does with spiritual or religious explanations for why the world is the way it is. ---

all depends on who you allow to define “perfection.” History has shown that those who pursue their idea of a "perfect’ world usually do some horrific things. ---

That good and bad are the same as well. That much of what we take for reality is use projecting our view onto it, hence looking at things as needing improvement when from an objective perspective nothing needs improvement. I wouldn’t say everything is perfect, it just is (if we are talking objective). I don’t know about god, even then how would he know and how can he be sure? He says he can’t explain it and that I need to experience it but what if the experience says the opposite? ---
