# Is The Material World Evil? No. Although it's temporal, it's not inherently evil. But caring too much about it is evil. Your body will not matter as soon as you die. Mind can affect (or control) matter. Make the material world reflect your mind. It's your sketchbook. MAKE an art with it. By this way, you can turn the temporal into the eternal. This doesn't mean that you should be a transhumanist though. Respect the arts by god or nature (depending on your belief).
