Existentialist Ramblings

"Why?"
By Lysistrata
Why is there so much pain and suffering in the world?
Why are we here?
So many complex questions, so few easy answers
I ponder these and others frequently:
Is humanity basically good or evil?
I tend to believe that we have equal propensities for both predilections
I'd like to think that there's more good in this world
Sometimes it sure doesn't seem that way, though
Is there really a God or some sort of higher power?
I believe God is an amorphous force that permeates everything
I believe evil is the result of greed and the contingency of happiness upon earthly possessions
Why does this even matter?
It matters to me, because it helps me navigate through this life
