because we need to be challenged

Challenged. In what? Why would anyone want a challenge, when we’re all too lazy to pick trash up after ourselves??? I don’t quite understand what you mean.

may be because no one in this world wants to maintain themselves to the standards of being perfect… moreover being perfect means being tied to rules to an extent…and NO growth will be one of the consequences…because after perfect there’s no other dimension to reach to…or is it??

And living in an imperfect world doesn’t mean that you’re tied to rules? Rules that bad things happen. People die, sometimes for no reason other than bad luck.

whats your definition of an imperfect world and perfect world anyways?

Good point actually. Kinda stupid of me O.o. Frankly, I have no clue and it’s up to interpretation.

But I believe in a perfect world you have maximal personal freedoms with absence of evil, everything you want you can get unless it affects other people negatively.

Imperfect world: Bad things happen to you for no reason other than chance. Evil coexists with good. Personal freedoms only exist in a highly limited form. Other people can repress you.

Really really bad world: Think of hell but worse.

i don’t know but the very word Perfect..(in my very opinion)…is not perfect in itself!! cause there’s no perfect definition of perfect :P…yeah but i do understand what you’re trying to convey here….
After all no one in this whole world wants to be bad…do you think anyone does??
only situations (created by us again) drag us into the choice of good or bad.

I guess you’re right. It’s about freedom of choice. Which raises another question… is choice just purely symbolic and without meaning, or do we actually choose. Free will and all that comes into play here. For now, I’m going to assume free will exists (although science is pretty close to proving the opposite as of now :\ … we’ll know once the LHC experiments at CERN finish in a few decades).

But then why do people chose to do evil stuff??? Is it because they don’t understand the consequences of their actions or because they refuse to accept the consequences as coming from them… Ok, this is getting twisted and waayyyy too broad. ARGH. Brainache…

:D…imagine a situation where a guy hits you on the road…(don’t think why he hits you :P)…and you’re bleeding…you don’t know why he hit you again…but he still keeps hitting you…what is that you’ll choose to do?
So its not a choice…whatever you’ll do will be a reaction of what the other person does to you…Similarly when facing issues of life people (being genetically different) with different temperaments react different. Some confine to peace where others don’t.

So essentially the problem is diversity? If everyone were a do-gooder-zombie walking around behaving the same I suppose the problem of what causes good/evil would be kind of useless (but then, who would like to live in a world full of zombies???). Ok, so lets start a genocide to make this world more perfect :D /sarcasm I comprehend your POV.

So I suppose part of the problem is that people use evil methods in order to accomplish what they believe is good (see genocide example above, whether or not it actually is is another question). Or opposite, people may be going good for a cause that is actually evil. mmh…

The age old question… why do bad things happen to good people. Kind of pointless to discuss but you did answer my question in terms of leading me to other clues. Thanks.
