Life: from nasty, brutish and short to beautiful and eternal...


Life: from nasty, brutish and short to beautiful and eternal...

Thomas Hobbes once said: human life is nasty, brutish and short. And for sure, not all the world's population enjoys the benefits of electricity, clean water, security, freedom from diseases, happy relationships and marriages, affordable education and healthy, and daily food and drink....progress and evolution seem spotty. However, irrespective of whether all share in these moral and material blessings, our Easter faith adds an important dimension to human life: the resurrection has taken the course of evolution beyond time and space to life in God. Human life has become beautiful, Godlike and eternal, not "nasty, brutish and short."
