Why did God create evil: Best Answer I've heard...
This is probably the best answer l've ever heard to the question, "Why did God create evil?" READ THIS... Why did God create evil? The answer struck me to the core of my soul! A professor at the university asked his students the following question: - Everything that exists was created by God? One student bravely answered: - Yes, created by God. - Did God create everything? - a professor asked. "Yes, sir," replied the student. The professor asked : - If God created everything, then God created evil, since it exists. And according to the principle that our deeds define ourselves, then God is evil. The student became silent after hearing such an answer. The professor was very pleased with himself. He boasted to students for proving once again that faith in God is a myth. Another student raised his hand and said: - Can I ask you a question, professor? "Of course," replied the professor. A student got up and asked: - Professor, is cold a thing? - What kind of question? Of course it exists. Have you ever been cold? Students laughed at the young man's question. The young man answered: - Actually, sir, cold doesn't exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is actually the absence of heat. A person or object can be studied on whether it has or transmits energy. Absolute zero (-460 degrees Fahrenheit) is a complete absence of heat. All matter becomes inert and unable to react at this temperature. Cold does not exist. We created this word to describe what we feel in the absence of heat. A student continued: - Professor, does darkness exist? — Of course it exists. - You're wrong again, sir. Darkness also does not exist. Darkness is actually the absence of light. We can study the light but not the darkness. We can use Newton's prism to spread white light across multiple colors and explore the different wavelengths of each color. You can't measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into the world of darkness and and illuminate it. How can you tell how dark a certain space is? You measure how much light is presented. Isn't it so? Darkness is a term man uses to describe what happens in the absence of light.

Day 7 of 75
Completed first section on Siu Nim Tao. Got a couple of questions -- will post them under Questions a bit later. Been down with flu for a week, so watching videos is all I could manage. Back on my feet now. Doing the Form twice daily, as well as the exercises. 'And ... loving it.'

@Chuckie Zingone Thanks Chuckie.

Until we have met the Monsters in ourselves, we keep trying to slay them in the outer World, and we find that we cannot. For all darkness in the World, stems from darkness in the Heart, and it's there that we must do our work 🙏 Trained - 30 mins Meditation, then 30 mins SNT 🌊 sounds, 950 chain punches to Lose Yourself by Eminem Learned - I'm enjoying this training a lot more than I first expected, that's one of the ways you know you're passionate about something, when you show up everyday, you think about it even when you're not doing it, and when you're doing it, you don't want to stop 👊 Felt - Another great day, grateful, stateful, happy 😃 ☮️💚 & Kung FU

So true. Took me too many years to realise it. *sigh* 'But it's alright now - in fact it's a gas!'
Hello everyone
Hi. I'm Julian. I've only recently joined One Tao and have completed all the lessons in the Siu Nim Tao section. I've also just completed Week 1 of the 75-day challenge. I want to learn how to get in the State and never come out, and to get as skillful in the physical practice of Wing Chun as I can yet never have to use it.

@Elena Hamel Hi Elena, nice to ‘meet’ you. I’ve only been able to skip ahead in the Siu Nim Tao videos quickly because I’ve been attending nearby physical classes with my first Sifu weekly since late last year. I’m sure you’ll catch up, as I often struggle to find time to practice!
Meat eating OK?
I remember the head of Au Hari Krisnas once referring to ‘the sin of meat eating’.🤔

@Sifu John Cogan As a practising Jew he would have also eaten roast lamb with bitter herbs every Passover. But if we cite His example as the authority on the kosherness of meat eating, are we saying that we believe all His claims (eg, I am the Way …, I am the True Vine, I am the Resurrection) to the exclusion of the claims of other faiths, eg ‘there is one God and Mohammad is his prophet’, or ‘that which can be named is not the Tao’? Going down a metaphysical rabbit hole over this I know but it’s an important question to me. I eat meat but detest killing animals, and wouldn’t eat meat if I had to kill to do it. If I was an animal I think I’d be a bit miffed at someone thinking it was OK to kill and eat me as long as they did it ‘respectfully’. I would think think that if they respected my life they wouldn’t kill/eat me. Kwai Chang Cain and the Taoist monks in the Kung Fu TV series were portrayed as vegetarians (don’t know though if that’s a true portrayal). But I wonder if vegetarianism or veganism are more highly evolved paths.
