Now you might say, |
| [00:38.408] |
that it's part of our human nature. |
| [00:40.898] |
Not something we learn from society, |
| [00:43.772] |
but part of our nature itself. |
| [00:46.781] |
That We care about each other. |
| [00:49.254] |
That, as many philosphers argued, |
| [00:52.272] |
we are born with a sense of compassion or sympathy,or pity. |
| [00:57.842] |
And perhabs we are even born with a sense of justice, |
| [01:01.098] |
some sense of fairness. |
| [01:03.043] |
Even the small children, |
| [01:04.397] |
when they're not treated as they would like to be treated. |
| [01:09.357] |
Without having a choice on the matter, |
| [01:12.004] |
we project this sense on the universe |
| [01:15.849] |
and we expect the universe to fulfill our demands. |
| [01:21.720] |
We think, for example, that evil should be punished. |
| [01:26.260] |
We think the goodness should be rewarded. |
| [01:29.936] |
And the problem, |
| [01:30.866] |
it goes all the way back to the early middle ages, |
| [01:33.842] |
often called the problem of evil. |
| [01:36.857] |
The obvious fact that we're just not always rewarded, |
| [01:40.897] |
the obvious fact that the evil sometimes get away with what they do, |
| [01:45.541] |
has always been a deep problem, for phylogical thinkers. |
| [01:51.441] |
But without even reference to religion, |
| [01:54.472] |
it's a problem for all of us. |
| [01:57.412] |
They observed that this recognition, |
| [02:00.185] |
that we have a demand of the world and the world just doesn't care. |
