It's interesting to consider the concept of being an eternal being existing billions of years upon billions of years; on and on and on and on forever and ever and ever. If you've been doing only good for billions of years and wanted to do something really different, what other choice is there except to do evil?
I mean, 'not quite as good' is still "good", right?
So, for those who have been "good" for billions of years who are desperate to do something really different doing evil is the only choice available. Except for, maybe, not doing anything at all; sitting in a cross-legged Buddha type trance for the rest of eternity.
I sometimes feel that we humans are the victims of evil winning the overall battle and taking over the entire universe. Sometimes it really feels that way alright. I wonder how many thousand of years it would take, of doing evil, for Satan to become extremely bored with it all and desperate to do something different. What else could he do besides...good?
Come to think of it, all Buddha statues represent doing good. So sitting in one spot meditating for extended periods of time is not "evil". How much evil would the devil be motivated to do during such extended meditations? Not much, right?
So, if I can inspire Satan, and the Fallen Angels, to stop persecuting me and be nice, just for the heck of it, will that motivate God to...kick my ass? Questions, questions, questions....
You ain't thinking bout this type of stuff, are you?
Figures....
