(Supposedly) God Works In Mysterious Ways ○○○ If the life of a man depends on that man, and how he lives, then why does pain feel no justice? If good is rewarded, and evil punished, then how can a mind as innocent as that of a child know such hardship? If God is the benevolent dispenser of life’s true happiness and gritty evils alike, then why does one man bear the burden of so many? Why not spread it more evenly so as not to destroy one life, but lightly tarnish a dozen? Surely this is a more humane tact for an all seeing force such as The Lord. But alas questions such as these cannot be answered by any man as we cannot fathom the reasoning behind such forces so we deflect such difficult questions, we don’t invite further queries for fear of our ignorance being exposed. “God works in mysterious ways” I have never felt such distaste for a supposed philosophical answer as I have this one. To cast off the one question that has baffled mankind since our brainpower has allowed us to ponder such mysteries with this one liner is blasphemy. To admit not knowing is beautiful, it is honest. It places us in perspective. We are nothing. We control so much but yet so little. We have grown and invented so much so that our lives now depend on our inventions. So in our ultra advanced lifestyle where young generations stray more and more from the solitude of religion, how is it that when the youth questions the motives behind the almighty perhaps in a search for a faith they can understand, can such a vague and empty response be given? It doesnt instil any desire to know more. For me it makes me think that if any other answer is as this one is then our religion has spent two thousand years too many deferring the right types of questions with the wrong types of answers. I may only be a young and somewhat uneducated person, but I am the future of this planet. I will be charged with the duty of catechizing my children. Why don’t I have cancer? Why am I healthy? Are such thoughts sinful or will they open my mind? If I didnt know any better I would be inclined to say the reason I am healthy is pure chance. I am lucky. Life is meaningless and religion void of true salvation. Thank the almighty Lord above I know better.
