Question and Answer Portion

There are a lot of things in this world that cannot be easily comprehended by the human mind, which explains why there are more why’s than answers being correctly answered. Man being the genius that he is usually has a ready answer—be it scientific, religious, philosophical or what not, but still we end up more confused with more why’s than ever before. I guess no amount of explanations can and will ever satisfy us. I don’t know with you but I found my answer in the spiritual realm. It is actually as simple as accepting that some things are bound to happen just because so, because God wants it so.

I know it’s not easy to accept the things that we have no control over, especially when it’s something that hits so close to home. It’s not easy seeing people in grief mourning over the loss of a loved one. It’s not easy seeing thousands of people who are already living in poverty suffer another blow, this time from nature’s wrath. It’s not easy to see someone get hurt…all just because so, all because God wants it so. As much as I want to believe that God has a purpose for everything, it’s still not that easy to accept the not-so-good things for what they are.

But it’s a dead end street. The questions will never end and it will never lead to a satisfying answer. Unfortunately the answers to the why’s will always baffle and elude us. Perhaps the answers can never be found in this lifetime of ours. Maybe the answers are greater than ourselves; more than what we can comprehend, more than what we could have ever imagined possible.

I’m not sure how I’m going to end this blog. I have no answers myself. I think faith somehow plays an essential role in all these though. We should never stop believing even if sometimes there is sufficient reason to do so otherwise. When reason fails us, we should turn to our faith and embrace the life we have in its entirety—with all its bits and pieces, and yes with all the why’s included.
