Hick claims that a world without “pain, failure, sadness, frustration, and defeat” would not enable people to develop “the moral qualities of human personality.” Good moral qualities are personal qualities like kindness, selflessness, generosity, maturity, etc. If you look back on your life, does your own experience tend to support or disprove Hick’s claim? for example, in your own life do you think you acquired good “moral qualities” only when you had to suffer “pain, failure, sadness, frustration, and defeat”? or do you think that suffering “pain, failure, etc.” made it harder for you to develop good moral qualities? Can you think of ways in which you could, or actually have, acquired good moral qualities without having to go through “pain, failure, sadness, frustration, and defeat”? Do you think you have any specific good moral qualities that you could only have acquired by going through “pain, failure, sadness, frustration, and defeat”?
