So what's the point of it all?
Why does CREATOR allow us to suffer pain, illness, loss?
The answers to these questions will probably never be revealed to us in this life. But when we take stock of our experiences, the good and the bad, we find that the dark times have left us with more than just unpleasant memories. Perhaps we have gained new insights into our own personalities, found strengh and depth we never knew we had.
And what do we do with these emotional gains?
We may go on to lead richer, more enlightened lives. We may also seek to comfort those who hurt as we have hurt, thus heeding CREATOR'S call to look after our fellow humans.
Is this perhaps why CREATOR has permitted suffering in our lives?
We can't answer that question. But our lack of sure knowledge should not stop us from trying to act as CREATOR'S tools for good here on earth.
