Life is benevolent. Do you agree?

In my opinion, life is neither good or bad, benevolent or evil. Life is just life. We as humans put our personal perceptions and expectations on life and lable/view it either as good or bad in order for us to comprehend and understand our environment better. However, if we choose to believe that life is benevolent, this could lead to us viewing life in a more positive perspective rather than a negative one.

That's a rhetorical question!I believe Life is a Mirror that only gives self reflection which in itself neither good nor bad but it attracts around which made life to be imbalance

To me, there's nothing fair in this life. Most times, life acts in a different manner and direction than what we expect. There's no fairness to this, and as such, life isn't benevolent.

I do not agree, it all boils down to our lived experiences and the structures that interact to shape those lived experiences.

There are good moments and bad ones. I don't think of life as a different entity or personified. So, the idea of it being benevolent would change based on time, geography and overall condition of a person.

I think that the life is always kind to us, but everytime the ways are different. Sometimes, it gives us pain to make us powerful enough for further challenges and successes. And sometimes, being kind and lucky for us as a reward of our hardwork and generosity.

I agree. The longer you stay in disagreement with yourself, the harder for you to work on the positive part and vice versa.

I think what we call 'life' is just a product of the time we have and our energy or attention. We can only label our experiences as 'benevolent' or 'harsh'. Even labeling a particular experience as kind or harsh can change with time. Ultimately, it is subjective.

Undoubtedly life is benevolent and teaches us to be humble and grounded in the face of difficulties. However, there are times when life isn't fair but that also occurs in the form of lessons for us to become resilient towards adversities.

I would say that it depends on the situations that you are in . Life can be kind but also cruel.

Life is both benevolent and harsh. However, like the author suggests, I believe focusing more on life's generosity, rather than its harshness, will lead you towards a more abundant lifestyle.

I don't believe life is benevolent to anyone. Life trains you by presenting you stumbling blocks which you must overcome or remain at the same spot for the rest of your life. Life also deals with everyone according to what is written concerning them by God.

I agree with your assertion on this but I can't stop thinking about how different and customized life is for everyone. For some, the bad far outweigh the good by far that they don't even realize good. Life is so unfair.

Life is kind in some ways . Life is basically the way you want it to be. Your thoughts and actions influence your meaning on life.

I couldn't fully agree with the author on this because life is not always kind....I think some people just have it easy, but others don't...but despite all the hardships people face, there's always a silver lining to every situation.

I do agree with that author that our thoughts have an impact on how life turns out though. Because with positive thinking, comes a lot of positivity in life, and vice versa making life benevolent.
