Today, over dinner, my daughter who is sick today asked me "Mom, don't you wish you were God, cause you could make peace in the world and take my pain away, and help people fall in love and make the world a better place, right?"
Hmmmm, I thought, what WOULD it be like if I were God? Then, immediately thought, the world would not thrive. It sounds all good and all to be able to solve all the woes in the world but personally, I think it would make things so much worse. Of course, I want to take my children and loved ones pain away. Of course, if I could take my friend's mental pain away, I would. Oh course, I like to end world famine and have no wars. But what good would it REALLY do?
Let's start with just the physical pain, and if I removed it if I were God. Let me just say that if the world had no pain, what would keep us from proceeding into danger. We couldn't feel if we were walking on broken glass and get an infection or if we had a stomach pain, which my daughter has, you need to have pain to know that something is wrong or will be wrong. Pain is a warning. You need to have pain or you'd have your every move watched so you don't injure yourself. You could literately be kicked, pinched, burnt and you wouldn't even flinch or notice. Pain tells you when you pushed to far, when you're in a situation you need to get out of and when something is terribly wrong. If you step on a piece of glass or bang your head too hard, you know you need medical attention. But what if you never felt it?
Now if I could remove psychological pain, what is bad with that? Well, then people wouldn't be needed to comfort each other. Of course, when your child or loved one, is hurting from a bad break-up for example, I wish I can take all that pain away. But will the person learn just enough to take out of that relationship to help them out in future relationships on what to do or not to do? How do you help them without turning them jaded and too scarred so they can further advance in future relationships. It's a thin line between wanting to help and take the mental pain away.
If I can take Dis-Ease away, I would. But if the world never got sick then the world would over-populate and there would be no need for doctors, nurses, hospitals, etc. This is like The Butterfly Effect, if you change just one thing, say, step on a rare spider and the species dies, then another species can't feed off it and other species start dying off, and so on, would the whole human race die off if we didn't have disease and pain? I think so!
About wars, if I could end all wars, what would happen? We would never know peace.
So if we were never ill, then we never would know what it would be like to be well. If we didn't have famine and feel hungry, then we never would know what it's like to feel full. If there were no Winter, we would never know the beauty and nature's awakening into Spring, followed by Summer and then Fall. So we are all apart of the Circle of Life and in that circle, there are many bad things and many good things. So I believe, that God, or the Higher Power has put people, animals, plants, life on this planet to help EACH OTHER, to comfort EACH OTHER. We help EACH OTHER!!!! So the Man upstairs has got it right. I do not wish to be God. I explained this to my daughter and she agreed with what I said but wishes that I can heal her. Honey, I wish I could ease your pain Babygirl!!!!
So for now, I can only offer my advice, it's free speech and with free speech carries with it some freedom to listen!
