If theres a God, why does He let things like these happen? How can he just let them die this way? Why is there still famine? Why are there still wars? Why is there so much poverty in this world? Why is everything so unfair?
This topic has always prevailed for ages, or as long as i can understand what this whole woo ha is about. And i hate it how people go on and on about it, getting all angsty and worked up about the whole thing. There is a reason why everything happens. And no one is to blame. These people who have passed away may have been the dearest people to you. Wars occur for the slightest reasons, with people dying as fast as locusts eating up crops. People dying all over the world due to extreme poverty, with less than 2 US dollars to live on a day.
If these did not happen, would we know what is compassion? Would we know what is love? Would we know how to treasure those we love? Would we know what it is to sacrifice? Would we live each day as if it is our last? Would we be able to appreciate what we have?
NO.
If everyone lived to a ripe age and dies like how Rip Van Winkle drifted into his twenty year long sleep and if everyone lead a comfortable live, i think we would be quite selfish people. We won't see the need in helping everyone. Besides, why should we when every other person is as comfortable as you are. Then wouldn't life be very meaningless? Then what would be the point of living? Aren't we all here to do something for others? And not just think about ourselves all the time?
