James Kern Feibleman

That some good can be derived from every event is a better proposition than that everything happens for the best, which it assuredly does not. –James Kern Feibleman, philosopher and psychiatrist (1904-1987)

I agree. To say that everything happens for the best seems to deny the reality of sin. One must say that a hug is better than a knife in the back, for the giver if not for the receiver, even though, in the view from eternity, God can bring good out of both.
