Essays On Divinity Vol 2 — Gottfried W Leibniz

Every animal and especially man requires in order to exist and get on in the world a certain fitness and proportion between his will and his intellect The more exact and true this fitness and proportion are by nature the easier safer and pleasanter it will be for him to get through the world At the same time a mere approxima tion to this exact point will protect him from destruc tion

This maxim is altogether to my liking and I draw from it this conclusion that God does the very best possible otherwise the exercise of his goodness would be restricted and that would be restricting his goodness itself if it did not prompt him to the best if he were lacking in good will Or again it would be restricting his wisdom and his power if he lacked the knowledge necessary for discerning the best and for finding the means to obtain it or if he lacked the strength necessary for employing these means There is however ambiguity in the assertion that love of virtue and hatred of vice are infinite in God if that were abso lutely and unreservedly true in practice there would be no vice in the world But although each one of God s perfections is infinite in itself it is exercised only in proportion to the object and as the nature of things prompts it

It is true that one often suffers through the evil ac tions of others but when one has no part in the offence one must look upon it as a certainty that these suffer ings prepare for us a greater happiness The question of physical evil that is of the origin of sufferings has difficulties in common with that of the origin of metaphysical evil examples whereof are furnished by the monstrosities and other apparent irregularities of the universe But one must believe that even sufferings and monstrosities are part of order and it is well to bear in mind not only that it was better to admit these defects and these monstrosities than to violate general laws as Father Malebranche sometimes argues but also that these very monstrosities are in the rules and are in con formity with general acts of will though we be not ca pable of discerning this conformity
