Only You (YeonGyu)

Chapter 3

Have you ever wondered why life isn't balanced? Is it because we all grew up differently and came from various kinds of situations with our family? It can be considered as a practical answer. However, I just can't help but wonder where evil actually existed. You see, God created this world, created the whole universe, and humans in His own image and likeness, right? The very first human that had ever existed on earth was none other than Adam, followed by Eve.

Now, I've been thinking about this for some time. God created everything. He made this world and entrusted it to us to make the universe a better place to live in. We were created, so we could do exactly what the Lord wanted us to do and spread peace around the entire world.

So, my question here is this... If God created everything, including us, that means we were already good by nature. If God was all about goodness, pure heaven, and kindness right from the start, how come there was evil? In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve were given permission to eat any kind of fruit they'd want to eat, except for the forbidden fruit. If everything was only about light and goodness, why was a serpent that was said to be Satan himself hanging around the tree? Where did he come from? Why was he in the garden? If you'd think deeply about this situation, you'd end up thinking nonstop. Does that mean evil existed by the hands of God? Did He create evil to test humans' faith in Him? We all know that humans had been punished after Adam and Eve disobeyed the Lord.

All the innocent people that had no idea and didn't have nothing to do with the sins of the very first humans had also suffered. Why did God let evil and temptation take over humanity and ruin everything? He could've prevented it from happening even if we had freedom to choose what we wanted to do. Yes, we all have our own choices to make. God gave us that freedom, but why did we fall into temptation? Wasn't there any option for us to not let ourselves get swallowed by evil? He was God Himself – He could've just erased Adam and Eve instead and created other two humans in replacement of our great ancestors. Maybe, it would've ended in a good way.

This is just my own opinion. I'm not against the Lord's decisions. I'm not saying that this was God's entire fault. We all have our own thoughts and opinions about something. What we think is what we perceive. We share lots of ideas, and we end up having so many questions that remain unanswered. They still remain as huge question marks in our heads, am I right?

Now, I won't go any further. My theories and perspectives may just offend dozens of people out there. I'll cut it off right here. If some of you got offended by what I've said, my apologies for that.

You're probably wondering what the hell I'm spouting about. Well, I just wanted to analyze these questionable things and think thoroughly. Maybe there are things that we're missing at, or maybe we're just too blind to even see the answers right in front of us.

Let's set that aside and go to another topic this time. Do you have friends? Are you lonely? If yes, are your friends good or bad? If you're lonely, does that mean you're like me? Do you wanna know why I have no friends? Okay, I'll tell you.

Actually, I had friends back then. I was still a mere little kid, and I was so jolly... way too jolly. My face was all full of smiles, because I had friends whom I considered my family as well. We'd play on the playground, eat snacks together, help each other out, and have fun. However, as we grew up, some of my friends had transferred to different schools, while some had joined other groups of friends until I was all left alone. I felt so lonely that time, but I tried hanging out with them, still. Sadly, I saw that I didn't belong to their group, and my friends preferred spending time with their new friends than with me.

They didn't care about me, and they even bullied me for no reason. Were they influenced by their new friends? I didn't know why they did me dirty, but that was their choice. I knew to myself that I had never been a bad friend to them, and I was always there for them. "People come and go" – this phrase is very true. They come into your life, then leave you behind with no explanation.
