"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then from whence comes evil?"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodicy#Reasons_for_theodicy

Theodicies are developed to answer the question of why a good God permits the manifestation of evil, thus resolving the issue of the problem of evil.

In science, when an idea is falsified, it's either thrown out, or withdrawn and revised. In theology, you invent an entire bogus domain to pretend it's still true. Theodicy is that domain. The entire reason it exists at all is because the Problem of Evil shows the god claim doesn't work, but they won't admit it.

Isaiah 45:7

I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.

Cyrenaics

The Cyrenaics were a philosophical school of thought founded c. 4th century BCE by Aristippus of Cyrene (l. c. 435-356 BCE) who taught that sensual pleasure was the highest good and only worthwhile pursuit in life. Known as the first hedonistic school, Cyrenaicsim was eventually replaced by the more comprehensive philosophy of Epicureanism.

Γυναικί κόσμος οι τρόποι, ουχί χρυσία.

Envy no one. For good people do not deserve envy, and the more that wicked people succeed the more they ruin things for themselves.

Listen, I know Freud did Oedipus dirty by naming all things Oedipal after him but not even 10% as dirty as the Catholic church did my best boy Epicurus by making sure his name is associated with luxury, consumption of delicacies, and snobbery when he actually preached the pursuit of pleasure via slow-paced, communal, anti-consumerist living and wrote reams about the corruptive influence of money.
