c. Untreatable diseases like HIV and cancer

Is this a curse from God? Why? Why not

What can we do to address these realities?

a. Natural evil-it does not come from human but that is natural like calamities.
b. Moral evil-arises with virtual inevitability from inherent imperfections of the universe
as a created and dependent order.
c. Metaphysical evil- the root cause of both natural and moral evil
d. Suffering-is close to the heart of biblical faith. In comparison with Buddha, who saw
life in suffering and tried to control it instead of cursing it, Job, of the Old testament,
did not just complain. He cursed the day he was born! In a phenomenological
D.Discussing new concepts and perspective, all of us will continue to assert our will against others, adding to the
practicing new skills #1 overall suffering of human existence. In Christianity, suffering leads to the Cross,the
symbol of reality of God’s saving love for the human being. Suffering, in Buddhism
give rise to compassion for suffering humanity. Compassion is the heart of religion,
but compassion can disappear from it. Religion, without compassion, becomes law
and burden imposed in its adherents. If there is no compassion, religion can start
wars that destroy enemies. Jesus condemned religion without and constructed, thus,
the parable of the Good Samaritan.

Have the students come up with generalization regarding evil and suffering. Ask them how
their knowledge of evil and suffering help them transcend this phenomenon.
The teacher discusses the following:
Indian thought recognizes the complimentary thought of all systems of belief. Hinduism is
neither rooted in any single doctrine, nor does it claim a monopoly on truth or wisdom.
Similarly, Buddhism preaches tolerance of all sincere viewpoints and includes many of these
within its own spiritual teachings.
For Christian faith, the power of change, cannot be done by human beings alone, but is
achieved with cooperation with God. Between humanity and God, there is an infinite gap,
which God alone can bridge through his power. Perfection by participation means that it is a
union of humanity with God. Change should promote not just any purely private advantage, but
the good of the humanity.
Human being, therefore, has a supernatural, transcendental destiny. This means that s/he
can rise above one’s ordinary being or self to a highest being or self. For St. Thomas Aquinas,
in the plan of God, a human being has to develop and perfect one’s self by doing his/her daily
task. Hence, if a human being perseveringly lives a righteous and virtuous life, s/he transcends
his/her mortal life and soars, to an immortal state of life.
