Oh world, why are you so cruel - a retort.


Recently read a blog post of someone who mentioned the world being cruel. This is my retort.

The world is not cruel like you think it is; neither are the people cruel like you think they are.

Every individual goes through life in the world and is tested along the way. Some are tested greatly and some are not. Some make the right choices and some do not. Of the choices made, they might be influenced by a number of factors which become a catalyst in creating the choice they make to make decisions. Some individuals though, don’t get to make choices; it is purely based on circumstances created by God that their choices in this world is very limited and they pass through to the next phase of their ‘souls’

If God has created this world as a test of life with joy, sorrow and worship, and has said the afterlife is everlasting then this can only mean this world is just a passing millisecond of what the rest of the life of the soul witnesses. The fact that if we endure this world as it is and make this passing time better for others and ourselves regardless of the cruelty gets us to an even better life as a soul, it should be treated as a blessing that we are being allowed by God to show how good we can as individuals with the correct choices and a true heart.

If this was a perfect world and God would guide us in this world at every step whether we wanted it or not, no one would lie, no one would murder, no one would hurt one another no one would die of famine. The very purpose of life as it exists would cease to exist because the definition of life is to choose the paths with a true heart knowing what is taught through history and in the words of God the right path. The world is not cruel because it just is, it is cruel because many people treat this as the only life they are bound to be ‘alive’ in when most don’t know yet that this is just a life in this physical body and the soul is destined to be in the sight of God forever and in his blessing. So forgive whenever you get the chance, smile when you see good and pray when you see bad and let the true honest heart guide you for what we are destined for, being Good even when others are not and praying for the betterment of everyone else.

In the end all souls belong to God and in the end the ones which go through hell through their cruelty will end up being with God after being cleansed. The innocent and the victims will be already be with God in a ‘life’ that is as eternal as God wants it to be.
