The current question that perplexes me is that why people are born unequal? What difference separates me and a poor guy in India living out of scraps? Why am I the lucky one with education and with comforts within my grasp? I have to say this question let me struggling a bit.To answer that, maybe we need to look into the mercy of God. From God's point of view (as I understood it), suffering in the world is only a fleeting moment, and there are greater purposes and goodness at work. I was told that all questions would be answered by merely being with God's presense. Within God's presense, all the tears and sufferings would be taken away.
Can you understand this?

Let me try my way of explaining it: For us, maybe we see that they don't have the education or wealth we have. But there are other things that they have and we don't have too, such as placidity because of that less competitive enviroment, which may lead to the other thing that they have and we may not have, and that is a true love or true friendship. Many of us have heard about the English Congregation speaking about their experience down Mexico where they helped the necessitous people building houses. According to them, they were never dubious about us the strangers of what we the church people were there for. But on the other hand, are we able to do that in a big city where we have everything?!
So the way I see it, maybe what we think is important and valuable is not what God thinks.
I see. There's no right or wrong answer to this post. I certainly welcome your comment.
In the end, I think I would value more of the things I've taken for granted, clear water, food, shelter.
I believe only God knows the answer. And I agree that God sees things differently.
And I think it's more important to say, 'What could we do?'
