// @jdaviddark on developing eyes for #WhatIsGood… -- There are so many existential structures to consider, treasure, and interrogate. -- David Dark, Contemplating Earthseed (essay), 2021-02-22, https://daviddark.substack.com/p/contemplating-earthseed #MetaWhatMatters (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLmUHJjgotK/?igshid=1stxb6sdq2ptm

God is eternal, infinite, omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent. He is everywhere and knows everything from the beginning of time to the end. How could we human beings, who are severely limited in our perspective, ever truly understand God’s ways? The Bible says that all things happen for the glory of God (Romans 8:28). Yes, sometimes that's just not a "good enough" reason because life often really hurts. But even if we can't see the good purpose in it, we must trust that what is happening is for the best because God sees a much bigger picture than we do (Ecclesiastes 7:14; Proverbs 3:5-6).

No, O people, the Lord has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.

If someone sees you differently than you see yourself, allow forgiveness and become an example of those things in their fading memory. -Katie👩‍👦 Mom 💓💖💙💖💓 . . #female #mother #daughter #sister #friend #femalestrong #strong #strongwomen #strongwoman #raisedbyastrongwoman #ilovemymama #andmydaddy #thankful #keithurban @keithurban #thankyouforgettingit #standup #riseup #bestrong #endofthedayhappiness #happiness #karma #whatisgood #kind #honest #true #latenight #ramblings #angerturnsintomotivation #motivation #motivated (at Simi Valley, California)

Michael J. Klarman on "freedom" as nonsense when divorced from the question of "Freedom for what?"… #whatIsGood -- Michael J. Klarman of Harvard Law School says that by itself negative freedom — freedom from without any definition of what our freedom is for — “is an empty concept,” a wax nose. Some people see freedom as a freedom from government interference in their lives, which comes from shirking federal agencies and reach. Others define freedom as freedom from discrimination, which comes through increased government regulation and enforcement. Some desire “freedom from want” and poverty while others desire only freedom of opportunity in the free market. Everyone insists that they are for “freedom,” but Klarman says that the term is meaningless unless you look at the value or good that the freedom is being invoked for. “Whether freedom is good or bad depends entirely on the particular substantive cause on behalf of which freedom is invoked.” -- Michael J. Klarman, “Rethinking the History of American Freedom,” William and Mary Law Review, vol. 42 (October, 2000). http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=223776 - As quoted by Timothy Keller, Making Sense of God, 2016 (at Seattle, Washington)
