Tragedy,pain and suffering are a part of the world we live in.It is silly to be angry about it or agree against it. We do try to make these unpleasant things as few as possible. Doctors work very hard to conquer a disease. Governments , social groups and religious bodies do their best to eliminate the crushing burdens of poverty and the causes of unhappiness.
But death remains, sickness remains,many accidents occur, and people are unhappy because of them.It is not good to be sad because of this. It is good to know what to do if we are caught in a web of suffering.It is good and useful to know what good there is in pain so that we profit from it if it comes our way.
GOD made the world in which there is death and pain and suffering, but GOD is good so there must be good to find in such unpleasant things, we must look for that good.When troubles come ,we do not like them.After they are gone we sometimes realize that were good for us. Sickness, death, accidents, poverty, failure,all such things are hard. They are also challenges. They block the way. We have to find ways to get round over them, or ways to use them.Life for grown -ups is always struggle , so the most successful are those who learn early how to beat their troubles.
We are not made just to live and die.GOD has given us a higher purpose to come to know and love HIM personally. All our life is spent in preparing for that higher and better life, and everything tat happens to us is a means we can use to help us reach our practical aim.
If we realize that pain, suffering .losses and disappointments are somehow gifts , to be used,we shall be able to use them to help us to become masters of ourselves and servants of GOD.
