“This story was another illustration to me of the concept of the Devil and God making wagers at human expense.
Then how are we not all just puppets on a string?
And if we are being manipulated, then we do not truly have ‘free will’ – which is what humans were supposedly given upon our ”creation by God.’
Being ‘good’ is necessary for humanity’s productive, flourishing continuance because ‘being good’ propagates cooperation and gentle utilization of our resources to ensure our own sustainability.
Just sayin’ for those looking at ‘the bottom line’ – the current trends going on now with excess consumption and large scale purely destructive behavior in humanity has no plan for longevity capabilities as everyone and everything is getting burned down in this abhorantly negligent process of ‘evil.’
I prefer to not worry about whether I am being f-ed with by other forces in my decision to be ‘good.’
I am just going to be ‘good’ despite any of these forces because to not be ‘good’ amounts to pure tantamount selfishness.”
