Strange Things

GOD = GOOD.     Most of the adjectives like Character, Integrity, Honesty,
Commitment, Love are intuitively understood / realized,  but eludes exact
definition.

Also, unless darkness exist, we won't know what light is !!! Unless an
opposite exists ( Dark, bitter, Cold, young, Life etc.), you won't know a
thing like ( Light, Sweet, Hot, Old, Death etc.). That is, if the universe
is full of light, You don't even know it. You need darkness to identify /
know what light is !!! This is the philosophy of "Zen" , derived from
"Dyan" .

Ultimately it is not a debatable issue & a matter of FAITH or BELIEF.

This issue was dealt long ago in Nammalwar's Pasuram in Nalayira Divya
Prabhandam ( Under Uyarvara Uyar Nalam). It runs like this:

" Ulan Enil Ulan  Avan Uruvam Ivvuruvugal  ( If God is there, he manifests
in all existence)
  Ulan Alan Enil  Avan  Aruvam Ivvaruvugal  ( If God is not there, he
manifests as Non Existence)
   Ulan ena Enal Ena Evai Gunam Udamaiyil  ( As He has both the
characteristics / aspects )
   Ulan eru thagamaiyodu Olivilan Paranthe  ( He exists & manifests in
all)
