Answer:

The nature of God

Explanation:

In these lines, St. Augustine criticizes a view that was common during his time. This is the view that argues that curiosity is a sin, and that God should not be questioned or understood. In these lines, he asks what God was doing before Creation. However, he argues that those who condemn the question (by implying that those who pry into this mystery go to Hell) is expressing a view he disagrees with. Moreover, this implies that St. Augustine does not believe God would view this question as a sin either. Therefore, he does not think this attitude reflects the nature of God.

I would say the nature of god. We already know that time isn't a real answer since it is but a detail of what the author's message is. It attacks the concept of what God first decided to do, before the supposed creation of all we have known.

Answer:

dear adult,

today, we live in a world were money solves peoples problems. We live in a world where throwing trash is okay. We live in a world where society wants people to fit a certain beauty standard. We live in a world where cutting trees is okay because we want better buildings. We live in a world where technology prevents kids from enjoying the outdoors. So, dear adult, we live in a world where there are many beautiful things, but the people in this world, dont take care of it.
