Questions I ask

The other day, I gathered from our fellow neighbours, that, two young boys, in the late evening burst crackers in front of a black dog. The atrocities towards animals highlight a sick mindset. It’s like vast expanses of dark clouds approaching from the horizon as one looks towards the sea. My question is however, not to man, but God. Is it deliberate? Is it all part of His Plan? If He is the Indweller in every being, in every atom, if His Supreme Creation is Man, then why is there annihilation of humanity seen everywhere? Even if He intends to usher compassion in every generous heart, why is He not allowing that heart to survive? If the Doership is attributed to Him, then is it He who is orchestrating the doomsday events? We know of a good, benevolent and understanding, all compassionate God. What makes Him/She/It experience an upsurge of negative energy? Assailants who have no mind of their own, thoughts of their own, might say that it’s all done for the general good. Overpopulation has to be curbed. If that is so, who has given man the right, who is not the Creator, to indulge in brutal, rigorous activities? You? How are You ‘intelligent’ then? ‘Humour me’ I say. God: ‘It is always darkest before dawn, My Child!’

God gave us free will to do what we want. But he is always here for us.

I feel we are to pray for big thing. I had read somewhere that God says of what use are our faculties if we keep depending on Him for small things. My question arises then why does He insist us to surrender to Him?

@apsmine9 He gave us free will which means he does not want us to surrender to him. Just to believe in him and pray.

That story about the boys and the dog really hurts to read, animals feel everything too. I don't have an answer for why God allows it, but I believe people still have the choice to be kind. Maybe that's where the dawn starts, when one person decides to protect something small.

Kindness is something innate. It occurs to one who's cruel, if kindness comes from unexpected sources. Children can be brutal in their immaturity. But adults?
