Can you imagine a perfect world without evil? Everything is perfect, no sufferings, no problems.. Wouldn't that be extremely.... Boring?

If there is no evil, then you cannot identify the good. Because there is no comparison. Because there is no opposite of good at all, right? But I think it would be nice, if there are no suffering. I know one place as such, it's called heaven.

No sufferings in Heaven, i agree with it, but sometimes it keep on bothering me that even a Good Angel found in Heaven did a wrong thing of greed and turned later to be a bad Satan and it happened in Heaven... then God pushed Satan to leave Heaven and migrated to Earth this simply means that what Good Angel Lucifer did is the first Suffering that happened in Heaven.... therefore, there are sufferings in Heaven too.....

It is also be possible that God created "evil" so we can know what is good. After all, God created EVERYTHING.

Hi Damned_dle, No, I think it would be boring as you know what and what would be the point in life? Life is a colorful weave of everything from bright, beautiful to boring to murky to downright nasty and while we might not like the darker,uglier shades, they are a beautiful and perfect contrast when woven altogether. What lessons would we learn and how? I enjoy the good times but I've learned the most from the bad. It serves it's purpose.

I think we would have gotten used to such type of world and we would not have been able to know whether they exist such problems in the first place.

Yes, I can imagine. I think there are various ways to kill that boredom. Peace is good in all aspects though people would think there is no challenge in life and it seem boring.

no one can better build an antagonist personality if there are no villains. sometimes villains help straighten up someone's belief. yes it's very boring. the world must be a balance of good and evil.

evil will always be there, it is just how you define it, what is evil in your opinion

I think a more exact statement would be that "the possibility of evil will always be there." However, evil as being practiced will one day disappear. Why do I say that? Because evil must cease to be practiced, since it harms people. Therefore in theory, it will always exist but in practice it will be done away. Does that make sense?

Well, if you are bored then that means you are not content. If you are in a world where everything is perfect that means you are content, because perfection would indicate that the world you are living in gives you everything you need. Therefore, the word "boring" or the thought of it would not exist in this perfect world. So if you think that it's boring to live in this "perfect world" then I think you do not belong there.. haha just kidding.

The "Perfect World" as being without evil is just a concept.

Would it be also boring if there were no sellers nor buyers. No one sold things because they all had everything for their lives.

if there were no evil... and if there were no sellers and no buyers... then the whole economy will collapse, no trade money will never be applicable... well go back to trade or barter of goods... therefore we need evil in order to live... we also need good in order to live.... the evil that i mean is the opposite of the things, of all the things here on earth evil is not a mythical frightening creature but evil is just a term opposite of everything.... therefore, both evil and good, we need it in order to live

A one dimensional world with NO choices? You do realize that mankind needs something to struggle against to feel purpose in life, right? I abhor evil, but until WE are all perfected, it is an unavoidable thing in our world.

My scriptures tell me that it is the closer we become to God. The exact words used are; be perfect as I AM perfect. Jesus taught that living life in the Spirit rather than the flesh, the closer you get to God.

Definitely boring and i'm pretty sure i won't live long in that kind of world! There should be balance between good and evil, or else, there won't be much left for people to do.

There is evil in everything. I guess a world without evil is like a company without any competition.

GOD is the only perfect so HE is the one who can make that possible, and someday HE will make the new heaven and earth where there is no sorrow and pain, all will be in peace. All things will be great there definitely, and I love to live there. Anyway nice question friend. God Bless you.

Hi friend, most of us have dreams about this kind of world with peaceful life, but it is really impossible to have this kind of perfect world, as you mentioned, some times it seems to be boring if we don't have any issues in our life

hehehe, for some it certainly woulb be but being evil means nothing else but being ignorant in regard to what our souls tell us. The more evil you get the smaller you get - spiritually. But I'd look at it from a different angle: how difficult would it be to establish a 'non-evil' world. I think the answer is easy: humans are NOT perfect and they have a free will. Latter is the challenge, former the problem. Either we work towards self-enlightment or towards self-destruction. You choose ;-)

i think i wouldn't call it the world if there were no evil, i might call it heaven, and i wouldn't call it boring, i would like to live in a place like that. World is supposed to be a place where good and evil meet.

How can you call it a perfect world when there is no evil? If a perfect world is existing today, we are not here also for nobody is perfect. In that case, if there is a perfect world, we wont feel the boredom because we are perfect. There could never be a perfect world with imperfect people, it wont blend. I can't imagine a perfect world without evil because a perfect world has no evil.

we don't know know still if God or Evil exists. However, if no problems in this world, life would be much easy however not still perfect. That's is what i think.. And also, what we know now is just really the reverse... I just don't think so.
