William King, the eighteenth century Archbishop of Dublin, once suggested, in so many words, that the desirability of a thing's existence bears no relation to its excellence. Everything exists with reason and purpose and we who share existence with it cannot judge why it's here. We can only marvel that it is.
The bishop has a good point. If we are finite, created and dependent beings living in a world we did not imagine or make, what else, really, ought we to do?
Be in awe of what God has made life to be.
