Thirdly, even if we assume that the world is governed by purpose, we need only add that this purpose - or, if there are several, at least one of them - is not especially intent on preventing suffering, whether it is indifferent to suffering or actually rejoices in it.

  • -- Walter Arnold Kaufmann 沃尔特·阿诺德·考夫曼

第三,即使我们假定世界是由目的所统治的,我们只需要补充一点,即这个目的- -如果有几个,至少有一个- -并不是特别有意防止痛苦,不管它是对痛苦漠不关心,还是实际上对痛苦感到高兴。
