Here’s the translation to English:

*What is "good"? The Torah uses this word a lot. "And God saw that it was good." I mean, we’re talking about God here, so, yes, we can hope that all-knowing, unity that we cannot comprehend, ‘does’ = good. I mean, duh. Can we even say that God does something bad? Wouldn’t that be blasphemy? God is perfection!*

*Part Two – So everything that God does, wants to be, only comes from God. This also means all the bad. This list is so long that if I manage to leave out some truly terrible things people will get upset. But God will(ed) this bad thing. Allowed it to happen! Babies with cancer! Worse things! Are there worse things than babies with cancer? No doubt the list of horrors in the world that we can come up with is long. And don’t you dare leave anything out!

*Part Three – Therefore we (as in humans, because has any other creature we know ever complained to us about the crap of the world)? Balaam’s donkey. Balaam’s donkey is the only creature in the Torah that complained. And guess what the Sages say according to the donkey? That it was there in creation! Judaism is wild.

What are the options? A) it is all a dream – yeh, that sounds nice and cool, and probably came up in a dorm room, but do not step in front of a moving bus with this mind-set. B), it always existed, as in there was not a beginning. No one – and I mean no one holds this view anymore. Everyone, literally, accepts the Big bang. – that there was a beginning. Hello, back to the torah. C) it is all random / chaos. That seems not what we experience at all, and would truly be horrific. If things/ people/actions were random, then there would be zero reason for consequences to any action. That would be anarchy and no person can survive with anarchy. — seems we’re stuck with a creator.
