For many steak is the ultimate reward for their taste buds. But scientists tell us that such meat products can be harmful to our health. The delicacy that we enjoy tends to clog our arteries. It is in this sense that steak mirrors the world in which we live, the world which is simultaneously good and evil. All around us is a mixture of good and evil, a mixture I might add which non-Christian philosophies usually miss.

On the other hand, many people hold a more optimistic perspective. The problem with both the pessimist and the optimist is that neither gives a valid interpretation of reality. The pessimistic existentialist can't account for the good that he sometimes witnesses around him. He has no formula for understanding hope, joy, and love. Nor can he account for the Christian's faith.
