question 16

Essay

Answer the following question from the text:
Try to imagine the following sort of world: A world with more abundance than anyone could use up, including space for living; people with free will but with a tendency toward good (as we are now supposed to have a tendency toward selfishness or evil); people with bodies that can suffer some painful injuries and diseases but can't be in agony or be maimed or be killed. In this world, people can have adventures and take risks and display moral qualities, although not to the degree that we can (because of the limits on suffering).
a. Is there anything contradictory about this world? Explain.
b. Would such a world be better or worse than our own? Explain.
