>>7756956epicurus was a fool. even daoism was able to answer his supposed paradox, and the wise master did so in chapter 2 of the ddj:
>When the world speaks of beauty as being beautiful, ugliness is at once defined.When goodness is seen to be good, evil is at once apparent.
So do existence and non-existence mutually give rise to one another,
As that which is difficult and that which is easy, distant and near, high and low,
shrill and bass, preceding and following...
for humans to understand the 'goodness' of a god, we must first be able to comprehend the 'badness' of a lack of that god. without that 'badness,' there is nothing to distinguish that same 'goodness' as being 'good.'
