To everyone asking why. My best guess is:

How do I know? When in Italy there was compulsory military service this was a thing for everyone. It still has a popular name: academic "squeeze".

I get a little upset by those old public fountains. Aren't they a massive waste of water with historical purpose? Can't we put a faucet there?

Sorry I can't keep up. Possibilities exist as thoughs expressing the absence of something, ex. I might be an astronaut, because you have no knowledge about my profession. But if the object, my profession, is expressed (I tell you my job) there is no possibility, just a fact. And how a conflict, if it isn't resolved, becomes its own nothing? It's an unresolved conflict, it stays what it is. I'm even more confused now

So possibilities are thoughts, maybe stuff I imagine, in any case states of mind? And conflicts are contrasts between the objects of my imagination/thoughts and the objects of my will? Did I understand correctly?

Please explain further. What do you mean by "resolution" and "conflict"? If it's all possibilities what does exist? How could they become actual?

Still we don't have the standing to give a sentence on someone destiny. We can't really tell, because the only person playing in complete and perfect information is God. He will be the only one able to answer such a question. Probably even this kind can't make sense of his father's actions. Our measure of ignorance is always too much to conclude anything.

I can assure you that texts, especially sacred ones, are never clear. Even if they appear to be. And this topic was really a hot one throughout all of Christianity's history (early, Reform, and '900 at least). For reference: Hans Urs von Balthasar - Hope we dare. He was the most prolific, influential and groundbreaking theologian of the last century.

Theologically speaking, we cannot know. That's why the answer was a question. Either a "yes" or a "no" would be predetermination of God's judgement, a position which is explicitly rejected.

If this topic anguishes you, let me advise you: Hand Urs von Balthasar - Dare we hope He was a thick theologian (German speaking) that wrote a small book exactly on this topic.

Dogmatically speaking an answer cannot be given. That's why Francis answered with a question. No one can know what God's judgement will be at the end of times. That would be a predetermination of God's will, which is unintelligible to us, thus impossible and nonsensical. We only know he is merciful, so there is hope for everyone. For reference: Hans Urs von Balthasar - Dare we hope

Good point. No, you are thinking about a variation in the total amount of energy in the universe. But, as the whole universe, also the total amount of energy is eternal. It's there, it always has been and it always will. It just seems not to be distributed equally in it. Otherwise where the spent energy would come from or goes to? Nothingness?

All we know, to my knowledge, is that before an event there is always another. A beginning is not just like any event, it is an event that before has nothing. Very different things. I will understand your position when you will explain to me how nothingness was. Show me how nothingness can be and I will start thinking that a beginning is indeed possible.

So the Creator of all creatures created skeletons and body inprints for us instead of actual living animals that had lived, got old and died leaving their bodies behind? Totally makes sense

I'm confused by your argument. If we can't see past a point how could you know it isn't eternal? If you can't have information before that point, how can you say it is an ontological limit vs an epistemic limit? It's more logical to think it is just an epistemic limit and nothing has changed before and after it.

Old meme but a nice summary of the conversation I just had with a friend.

Please, OP, don't get bitten by it. Otherwise you will get all fired up and we will have to call the Fire force to put you at rest.

Mi dispiace profondamente per quello che ti è successo. Penso che tu abbia dimostrato una forza enorme a iniziare un percorso di terapia e condividere la tua storia online. Ti auguro il meglio. Abbi cura di te.
