Dude, you have never raised children, have you? If you give a child EVERYTHING it wants, and totally respect them on everything they do no matter what, they turn into spoiled little brats who can't stand not to have their every little whim. they also don't learn to appreciate anything whatsoever. However, if you give a child limits, and you confine them to those limits until they are old enough to understand why those limits exist (to protect us, and not just to limit us for the heck of it. Think of traffic lights and stop signs,) gradually giving them more and more freedom to exercise their agency to act on their own, then they generally turn into decent human beings. Not always, but usually. The reason the world is going down the pot these days so visibly is because no one wants any limits. Everyone wants what they want when they want it, not realizing why a little self-control is good for us.
Anyway, I could go on for hours on the subject of Theodicy, but I wont.
