Theology Worldview Paper

Long Final Paper on Worldview The way I see the world is different from other people’s worldview, because we all have our own personal experiences that have shaped us into the person we are today. The world contains both good and bad. I believe that the world is overall a good place and that we are meant to make this world a better place for each other to live in. Life is a wonderful thing, because with life, we have the chance to fulfill our role in changing the world. On the other hand, death and evil is something that I have had trouble making sense of. Luckily, I have been really blessed during my early childhood, because when I was younger, the only time I have seen evil or bad was in the news. The world has always seemed like a huge, scary place to me and that only with protection from evil, I could be successful. However, events during high school have changed my worldview, and I understand that evil is not something that can always be avoided and that goodness can come from terrible events. It was the summer before my sophomore year in high school. Break was ending, and schools were opening soon. We just moved from a small town called Sikeston to Saint Charles, Missouri due to my dad’s new job. I have lived in Sikeston my whole life, and I did not fully understand why we all suddenly had to move. I was slowly starting to adjust to my new life in Saint Charles and my new school when twelve days after I moved, I received a call informing that one of my closest friends passed away. The whole conversation felt surreal, but I still remember that day, August 21st. I saw my friend Aubrey two weeks before he passed away, the happiest, sweetest kid I knew. I did not understand why that was the last time I would ever see him again. I did not understand exactly what happened. I did not understand why Aubrey out of all people had a tumor in his ear. That was the first time that someone close to me
