I prefer to see Reality as “nihil supernum” rather than Goodness. Reality does not speak. It promises me nothing. It owes me nothing. If it is not as I wish it to be, it is up to me, and me only, to act to make it more to my liking. There is no-one and nothing to magically make things right. Or wrong, for that matter. There is no-one to complain to, no-one to be grateful to.
This does not have the problem that the Goodness idea has, of how to justify calling it Good to people who are in very bad circumstances. Nor is there any question of dropping a letter and calling it God.
