If you just sit still and contemplate all the injustice and evil in the world you can sink into a deep depression with little help on any horizon. Rapes in the Congo Starvation of children in many underdeveloped countries, exploitation of peoples by money hungry developers and energy corporations, Buying up the water in a country ad selling it back to the people who previously had the same water free as a God given right, oppression of the indigenous peoples all over the globe. War and hatred everywhere you turn.
Sometimes I am so lost in the slime and muck of the evi101l in this world I can’t breathe. When will we humans behave as if we loved our Gods and deities? Where are peace and love and justice?????
My Linda says, Hey do not dis the beauty of the world it also is all around at every turn. She also warns me not to close my eyes to the peace, love and justice that do exist often side by side with the evils I spoke of.
She is right that brings us to one of the great mysteries of this life, evil and good co-exists.

There are thousands of times more goodness than evil, you just hear more about the bad. Goodness is quiet!
But when it comes to God, the Israelis and the Palestinians both most sincerely believe they're behaving as if they loved their Gods.
Assuming to know what God's will is is a very dangerous thing.
Not only do good and evil co-exist, but they co-exist in individuals. Evil people do exist, I think, but they're much rarer than good people who do evil because they believe it's justified.
Wow! You are so right.
It is very very dangerous and arrogant to assume you know what God thinks.
