St. Augustine of Hippo was an influential philosopher during the Late Roman Empire‚ and gave a very compelling explanation for the existence of evil. Before Augustine’s explanation‚ Christians would have to accept that God created evil‚ meaning God is partially evil. Due to Augustine’s belief that evil does not have substance‚ which I will defend‚ it gave Christians piece of mind knowing that God is truly good. Anything created by God is susceptible to corruption‚ all of his creations are good‚ but

MOTHER.THE PAIN OF LOSS.Now I can say with certainty that I had never understood others suffering from unbearable loss of a dear person. For my part it used to be pity‚ compassion.
