[QUOTE="Blade Runner, post: 1592119, member: 17573"] Yes, this is the interplay of the world and why it is so difficult for us to understand. It's quite clear, for example, that our original state of survival is the most "natural" in terms of being one with the world and having appropriate intersex dynamics. But that's also a brutal world of harsh conditions, suffering, killing, and death. Tech over time led to an increasing standard of living, which provided for a more harmonious collective, but that was eventually taken advantage of by the overlords, and is now bad in a totally different fashion. Is it bad to desire greater accommodations for yourself and your subsequent generations? No. But it can get out of hand, and it seemingly did. Yet, this was all God's plan, and I don't think we can understand it very easily otherwise. I guess all we can do is be grateful, however this must work itself out, because blessings in this world come and go, are fleeting, but God does participate in them - even knowing that good things of this world are mostly a foil for us.
