Document Summary
Platonists are wrong to think that happiness can be found via politics or. Because we want lives and pleasures to continue the only way to be happy is through eternal life. If soul is mortal, then you can"t reach this happiness because you will always be worrying about the end. We are all suffering from adam"s original sin. Because he chose to sin, we all suffer the consequences. Death is the main consequence; only with second coming of christ will death be overcome (except the wicked, who. It was more important to give adam the choice than take away his free will. His choice brought death into the world. If humans didn"t sin in the first place, there would be no death.
