Turning points in life and the answer to the problem of evil

I went on exchange for a period of 6 months to Mexico and had the most memorable experience of my life to date. I grew up a lot because of the innumberable experiences and encounters that just moulded me into who i am today. I found love in many different beautiful forms and discovered a meaningful purpose for my life. We are all at different stages in our lives. We always come across turning points that can help us to grow significantly. We are always offered multiple choices be it with our relationships with people or with academics or entertainment to get involved with. There is a lot of clutter in the environment that can cloud judgment and make life confusing. I think its when you know what you want out of life that you are able to make better decisions. Making better decisions means you go down turning points that help you to grow as an individual. All of this growth proliferates your happiness and makes your energy more powerful because of the positive impact you can have on your environment. The video im sharing today was a turning point in my life. This was a performance in my Mexican university UDLA (Universidad de las Americas Puebla) during a dance festival. After the performance someone whispered in my ear, like it was a secret, why dont u take lessons? It was this video and this simple comment that inspired me to take up formal guitar lessons. It was through this process of learning about music that i learnt so much about life. Had i not seen this performance, i might have taken a much longer time to become the person that i am today.

The guitarist with the accoustic is Diego Martin Lanz and the drummer behind him is his brother, Arcadio Martin Lanz. Mexico is a wonderful country for art, music and incredible people

My most favorite answer to the argument for evil

So in case you haven't read, the argument from evil is from a Greek philosopher named Epicurus. The argument presented highlights attributes such as omnipotence (all powerful), omni-benevolence (infinite goodness) and omniscience (all knowing) typically ascribed to God. It goes as follows

"Is He willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is impotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and wiling? Whence then is evil?"

Thomas Aquinas comes up with what i think is a great response for the existence of evil. Basically the argument questions God's infinite goodness in a sense. If God existed, there would be no evil discoverable. But there is evil in the world therefore God does not exist. Augustine says "Since God is the highest good, He would not allow any evil to exist in His works, unless his omnipotence and goodness were such as to bring good even out of evil." So Aquinas says, that this is part of the infinite goodness of God, that He should allow evil to exist and out of it produce good.
