The Eternal World Picture, vol. 2
19.9  "The unpleasant good" and "the pleasant good"
We see here that so-called "evil" in the absolute sense is not evil. It is something absolutely good. Without the experience of this, as touched upon above, no being whatsoever would come to see God or be in his image. It is true that it is a very, very unpleasant good thing. But that is precisely the reason why one to the same extent can come to experience life as a correspondingly very, very pleasant good thing, as all-outshining divine light and bliss. Without this divine, eternal arrangement in the structure of the universe or in God's revelation no being whatsoever would exist. An eternal "nothing" would exist where the universe's immense flood of life today gushes forth through eternity.
