8. Beyond
"Life is a struggle on a very prosaic level - the basics of survival, but also on a complex one: to wake up everyday and be inspired finding significance in the day ahead. God gave humanity a double-edged sword with which they can seek meaning or succumb to everyday banality."

"Without a finity there is no meaning - it's death that gives life its purpose. The Poet imagined the eternal God experiencing daily melancholy because He chose not to incorporate finity into His being, making himself perpetual - without a beginning or an end. Meaningless."

"How often does God wonder what it means to die watching stars be born only to collapse millions of years later?"

"With two trillion galaxies, a star could be given to every human being ever born… Why this generosity, why did the universe have to be so vast? There is always a need for a climb like this one up the mountain - to discover some certainty in the irrational overabundance of cosmos."

"If the wrong / right doesn't mean much, why search for any kind of answer in the first place?"

"When God forbade the original parents to consume fruit from the tree of knowledge, He was probing Adam and Eve to see if they indeed possess the ability to shape their own destiny."

"God gave people building blocks for thinking up something outside of Him. Incapable of producing that thought, He needed people's mind as a medium for that thought to occur."

"The Evil is a negation of the discovery that for the thought to be, one needs to exist. Evil is not a negation of God or tangible existence of the universe but rather the possibility of reaching outside of self. To stay complacent is to be Evil."
