I'll start with this story, some years back, was still in highschool then, my dad had this well sharpen knife and warned I and my siblings not to go close to it. Immediately he left I wanted to see and touch, so I went and carried the knife and boom it gave me a serious cut that I had to be rushed to the hospital.
I didn't only feel the pains of my actions, I missed school and my parent spent money.
Truth is there is a God and that God love's us so dearly. He created us and gave us the power to make choices. Like in my story I made the choice to touch the knife, I could have done the other way round but no I didn't so I paid for it.
Coming from a Christian background and beliefs, I know that right from time, in the beginning when God created man He gave man an instruction and the ability to choose, God never imposed on man.
Genesis 2:16-17
And the Lord God commanded the man saying,of every tree of the garden you may freely eat
"But of the tree of the knowledge of Good and evil you shall not eat for in the day you eat of it you shall surely die.
So man had to make a choice, He touched and ate from the tree of the knowledge of Good and evil and boom everything spoiled, "Man died".
The same thing that happened in the garden of Eden is still happening in our world today and that's why we are still suffering and dying.
Our choices. Yes our choices is what makes us or mar us.
Notice we've chosen hate instead of love, violence instead of peace, stealing instead of hard work, everyone wants the easy way out, we all want it sweet, hmmm.
We cry about drought and the volcanic eruptions, we say our lands are no more yielding, our life stocks are going extinct, most of our animals are endangered etc but yet we keep depleting the ozone layer day by day, our choices.
Some persons have so much hatred in their heart instead of love, some cheat others, Government not doing as said, they Governed fighting for their rights, terrorism every where, parents fighting their children and vise versa, couples fight and separate, Neighbors killing neighbors, friends fighting friends etc
We create biological weapon and chemical weapons, yes it's man that creat those weapons not God, we could have chosen to do otherwise but no we choose war instead of peace, we live carelessly and when we get sick we blame God, really?
If we look closely we will be able to identify where we have made mistakes from and we'll rise from they. We don't have any right to blame God for the choice that we have made right from the beginning and are still making even now.
Do you blame God for suffering an accident while drinking and driving, and sometimes God may tell you don't go and u still insist on going, then...
I think the basic manual for life is selflessness, sacrifices, patient, togetherness, Etc
Ever heard of the story of the tower of babel? Yes Even God knew that there is nothing that can stop man if man unite and love them selfs,So he had to stop them immediately. The power of oneness. The booming will stop, killings will stop the day we humans decide to make the right choices.
Imagine a world without hate, malice, quarrels, Pride, greed,abuse, corruption etc. It will be pure heaven.
We suffer because of our choices.
