Imagine you are being offered a choice as to which kind of life you can live. The first choice is an immortal life. In living this life, you naturally behave in a caring and respectful manner towards your fellow humans, happy and content, never knowingly causing another harm. As a consequence, there is no crime and no war in your world. You can even worship God, if you like. Sounds like a good life, doesn't it?However, there is another choice being presented to you. This one is a mortal life where you periodically experience suffering, sometimes great suffering, more than can be imagined. The purpose of this suffering is to give you the strength of character necessary to be able to meet Almighty God, face to Face. In doing so, you will be gifted with all the knowledge in the universe.Which life would you choose?
