Liebnez

Today as I read a book on famous philosophers, I came upon some piece of information that made me giggle.
"A world containing free will, and in consequence wrongdoing and evil, is better than a world in which free will does not exist; and that is the explanation of why a perfect God has crated a world in which there so so much evil."


Now, this made me happy because:
1) I believe this myself (in addition to further reasonings).
2) I came to this conclusion independently without any readings outside of the Bible.
3) The philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz came to this conclusion in the late 17th century.
