So, jg, “Some hardships have a blessing wrapped up in them.” Perhaps. Is that how you view the fact that tens of millions of people – a majority of whom are truly “innocent” children – starve each year on our planet? Does that “warm your heart” as well? Do such hardships “lead to good changes in [their] lives” [or I guess “deaths” is more appropriate]? I’m sure these people find a great deal of meaning in their hardships… yes, I’m sure you’re right. I’m sure the millions living (and dying) under the Mugabe regime in Zimbabwe are ecstatic about their fate – perhaps a “sign from the Good Lord”?
If you’re really a “true believer” then why don’t you go to a third world country and actually help someone instead of spending your time on this message board? Isn’t saving someone’s soul and/or life more important than earthly pursuits like real estate, etc.?
As my father often said, “The problem with high ideals is that they are seldom easy to live by.”
