If you look at it in the perspective that everything can exist without the bad, accidents and illnesses would not exist if all were perfect and evil was not created. Look at things with your soul and not your mind. We are all inherently good. No one was created to do evil. The only reason evil or bad exists is because of free will. WE chose to not do good first.

Yes Reana I do, how would we have a reference to know when something was good.

If we didn't have to waste so much time dealing with 'bad', we could spend a lot more time doing 'good'.

One person's bad is another's good. It's funny how it works out that way.

If there is no good without evil, then heaven can't exist, because heaven is defined as a good place with no evil.

Do you think we need the bad for the good to exsist?

Short answer is no...Bad things will still happen, like accidents etc., but good can exist very well without them.

The good always exists with the bad. The bad always exists with the good.

Let's say that you and another are involved in a car accident where you survive, but the other person is killed. That is tragic for the other person and their loved ones, but it is good for you and your loved ones.

Also, the accident itself is bad, but it will be used to audit the location where you crashed. This is good in that it could lead to a safer road design.
