This world is undoubtedly imperfect- no matter how stupefied man becomes he will never believe that this world is a paradise. But I see it, as not only imperfect, but 'no good.' Fundamentally and irredeemably evil. Evil is not merely in this world, it is synonymous with it. Evil is not bound up with bad men, but with the very essence of the world itself. This is hell. The death, decay, predation, disease, filth. The unfathomable amounts of completely pointless suffering. And that's the thing- pain, suffering, and deprivation are absolutely essential to sentient life, they are the guiding principles of all sentient organisms, who are relentlessly pushed by pain, suffering, and deprivation throughout their entire lives. Not to mention that each and every one of us, no matter how "privileged" we are, face the possibility of immense suffering due to wrong decisions or simple misfortune.
