" There is not enough love and goodness in the world to give any of it away to imaginary beings. " * ~ Friedrich Nietzsche, German philosopher, 1844-1900 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No, dear Friedrich, God is not an imaginary being But The most real of beings to whom all other beings owe Their existence. He is omnipresent and omnipotent and manifests himself in Our hearts in the form of love. Now, Since love is from God, it follows that love is divine, and as Such it is infinite. As we very well know from mathematics, the infinite divided by any given number gives us infinite Thus Dearest, Mr. Nietzsche, love remains intact, no matter how many parts We cut it into For that reason, You should never worry that there would not be enough love and Goodness in the world to go around. One more thing, my knowledgeable friend: Love is never wasted because it comes from God and whatever Comes from God, is eternally useful! © Demetrios Trifiatis 29 June 2021 * Friedrich Nietzsche, is one of the philosophers that I admired and wanted to write my Ph. D thesis on his philosophy, however, taking into account his views on God and on our religion-an example of which we see in the above quotation - I wrote my thesis on the philosophy of the Greek philosopher, Heraclitus, 544- 480 BC. Paraphrasing, Shakespear's Ceaser I say that: " It is not that I do not love Nietzsche but I love my God more. "

Well worded reply here. Love is boundless, yet difficult to find in this realm; no wonder some folks doubt. One needs to have faith and love floods in.

Its an been incredible response dear friend Demetrios. You took the time to look at every possible angle of the issue, and you discovered that love is all around us, but we humans fail to recognize the great power of God, our ancestors were punished very quickly and severely for ignoring his influence, and now time is running out, and we need to wake up.

WoW! A perfect logical reply which cannot be refuted. Your faith and brilliance shines. In ancient Indian scriptures it is stated that we get back what we give many times multiplied. That's why maybe Jesus also said Do unto others as you...... I sent you a soup mail expressing my thanks. Did you read?

A lot of a doubting Thomas my friend. He was a Nihilist having declared that God was dead. Thank you my friend , Tom. Blessings.
