@ecoTrain| Spirituality | Topic | why is there so much suffering in the world?"
Greetings friends of the @ecoTrain community. Today again, I write to continue reflecting on the question of week 9, in which I already made my participation and reflection, only, now, I want to make other brief comments in a post outside the participation in the question of the week. I consider that the question is a very interesting topic, since sadly human suffering has been dragging on since the beginning of human history. Suffering can come in different ways, but pain and anguish are constants that remain within the condition of suffering. My mother, in her last stage of life, suffered a lot due to breast cancer, which greatly distressed my spirit when I saw her in the bed of her suffering. There are people who suffer the consequences of an illness, war, economic crisis that leads to hunger and many other factors.

In the midst of the pain that suffering produces, we always seek as an escape, the faith towards a divine superior being, in whom we can place all our burden of suffering and pain, on Him. This has led to the existence of multiple religious currents, which in the midst of human faith, try to find rest and peace in the God of their religion. In my case, in particular, I am a practitioner of the Christian faith and this has led me to trust in the supreme God creator of the heavens and earth. In this sense, in the midst of problems that generate suffering, my faith leads me to lean on my God who dwells over the universe. It is not about imposing your faith on other people, but to show by the foundations that support your faith, that your God is real and true and that you can simply trust in Him. Christianity is based on biblical precepts and the existence of Jesus Christ as the Son of God, who came to this world for the purpose of rescuing man from sin and bringing healing to all nations. However, there are millions of people, who do not accept these commandments and rules established by God.
If God is so real, why then do human beings have to suffer? Why, if God created man, does He allow him to suffer?

God did not create man to live sick or to build weapons for his own destruction. Man is not a mechanical force that God can manage or manipulate like a robot. Man is a thinking and rational being who is responsible for his own actions. God is only limited in giving guidelines and rules for man to do good and live in harmony with the beings around him, however, man is free to do according to his will. Man has become so selfish that he does not care about his environment, but thinks of his personal interests. Man motivates war and makes weapons of war for his own destruction. God gives him a guideline to do good, but man does evil and brings the consequence of suffering.
I thank the friends of the community for having raised a very interesting question in this complex time that humanity is living under the strong tensions of war.

The only truth is that we should all be in good faith to achieve more in life. There are evils in the hearts of man but God himself has given man power to dominate over all.things.
