Well well, here I am, back again with my thoughts, to inflict them upon my readers. Really, I don't know who comes to my blog, and why, besides my parents. I can hear Yi Ting shouting: "WTF your PARENTS visit your blog?Mine don't even care!" Ah well.

I was wondering, why do people have to die?

No, really. (Deja vu, huh? *wink*)

Let's start with some cold, hard 'for sure' facts.
1. God is all powerful.
2. God controls everything.
3. He has the power to do everything (relate back to the first question).
4. God loves us ALL, even when we're so steeped in our filthy sin, He's still willing to embrace us.
5. God doesn't want bad, terrible things to happen to us. 'Cause He's our Heavenly Father and He loves us so much, He hurts when we hurt.
6. He gives us all things, bad and good.

Now I've given you the basis of this post, let's deal with the oxymorons and the contradictions ensconced within.

1. He loves us, right? And He hurts when we hurt. And he gives us the things that we get riight??
THEN WHY THE HELL DOES HE GIVE US THE BAD THINGS?!
We hurt when we get the bad things. God loves us, he doesn't want us to hurt. He feels bad too. Then this is oxymoronic, is God some kinda sadistic masochist?! Sadistic, he gives us hurt. Masochist, he gives us hurt though he feels bad too and suffers.

2. Why did He give us the choice whether to follow him or not? If He didn't want us to go down the paths of vice and sin, then He shouldn't have placed the choice THERE for us to CHOOSE! He can't be that stupid. *repeat the stuff about the hurt going two ways*

3. He doesn't have to give us bad things...Or does he? He's all-powerful, so I suppose no one can impose a quota of stuff He has to give us. Or is He truly all-powerful! I don't know.

4. Why do people who are good get all the bad things, and justice or retribution never comes around to the bad people? Like my uncle is DYING now, a painful, slow death from multiple myeloma. That's cancer of the blood, FYI. He's a good man! He served in the police force for much of his time, married a nice wife, is a filial son, is faithful to his wife, raised two good kids (one's in army, one in uni) and is a GOOD GUY! Then when he's almost fifty he gets this stuff. Why? Why? WHYYYYY????? I mean, hell. It happens to the good guys. He gets his life filled with pain, being turned into a living skeleton through no will of his own, and we're all watching him go. For f-'s sake, the injustice of it ALL!!!! LIFE is not justified. NOTHING is justified. Just WTH is then justified??? I wouldn't CARE if it happened to a certain child-devouring teacher *ahem, cough*. I wouldn't care if it happened to Adolf Hitler, to Pol Pot, to Dr. Mengele of Nazi war camp doctor fame, some person who has done more harm than good! And he? Does he deserve this? GOD, ANSWER! DOES HE? DOES HE? DOES HE? Or any of the other good people, for instance? Did my father and his siblings deserve to lose their father when they barely had an impression of him? He went when my father was three. My grandmother was left to take care of six children, working in Telok Kurau Pri's canteen as a F&B vendor.



Others: I don't know, really. It's been an emotionally-charged post, and with a few expletives thrown in for good measure. There goes the curb on my tongue. I have no idea what's up with God, nor with life, nor with anyone who just happens to control life. I don't know. Some people say ignorance is bliss. WAKE UP, PEOPLE. Ignorance, is contained to childhood. Which may be bliss then, but now we're being made to face reality even younger than our parents. 'Believe me, I know, I was in sec school before.' Quote all the parents. ALL. HELLO??? That was at least thirty years ago. In thirty years, many things change. In a few years (WW2) Hitler wiped out 6.8 million Jews. The more I seek knowledge and wisdom, the further I think I get away from it. I don't know. And what I don't know scares me.

(blatantly dropping my ego there). Eg, the questions of God, mortality, religion...all...but that's for another post.
