During the tough times in life, the only question which always comes to our mind is “Why this is happening to me?” Some of us may also interpret this question in a different way and ask “Why bad things happens to good people” The importance of this question can be understood only when we try to figure out the best possible answer for this question which could possibly change the way we look at our life.
Before even trying to figure out the answer, we just need to analyze whether we have some precise answer for this. If you ask me, will definitely say – NO. Please don’t ask then why the hell u wrote this. We may not be able to answer this question precisely, but we can always come up with our own best possible answer.
Let me share my views on this. Imagine you are walking on the road and u r hit by some bike whose driver lost his/her control. Now how do you feel? Most people will start cursing their bad time and most people start questioning the existence of god itself. This is just a small example which lets us to the question “Why this is happening to me?”
The first point to be understood here is that this is definitely not an act of god as god never does bad things and that’s where he stands out from humans. The second point to be understood here is that there is some degree of randomness in this universe which can’t be controlled even by god. If you feel that it’s not true, then try to figure out the answer for the following questions,
1) If god has all the control over the universe, why he created bad things in this world?
2) If he dint created the bad things, why he let those things exist?
If we really try to find an answer for the above questions, it boils down to the point that there exists some degree of randomness which is beyond god’s control.
So the best possible answer for the question, “Why this is happening to me?” is that it’s due to the degree of randomness. God never takes revenge on us for our mistakes by giving the tough times for us. When each and every human being suffers in life, it’s always god who is the first one to worry about it as his kids are getting hurt. So the best way to deal with tough times in life is to figure out the randomness in this universe to the best possible extent with the help of god and other important people in our life and getting away from it as much as possible.
Never question the existence of god as he always tries his best to keep us away from this randomness. But at times even he fails. So ultimately the thought that needs to be remembered as an answer for this most important question in life is,
“Everybody has to struggle in life!!! The bitter truth is that it includes god as Well!!!
That’s why god always wanted us to help each other in figuring out the degree of randomness rather than just praying him!!!”
