Mentioned 1 year ago

A Foretaste of the Future

It was mentioned in relation to the idea that suffering in the present will make sense and be made up for in the future, with all resentments comforted and crimes atoned for, in the context of eternal harmony.

I believe this is in the Brothers Karamazov. I believe that like a child, that suffering will be healed and made up for, that all the humiliating absurdity of human contradictions will vanish like a painful mirage, that in the world's finale, at the moment of eternal harmony, something so precious will come to pass that it will suffice for all hearts, for the comforting of all resentments, for the atonement of all the crimes of humanity, of all the blood that they shed, that it will make it not only possible to forgive, but to justify all that has happened.
