If you aren't satisfied with God, then he shouldn't exist in your mind. You will just have to come to terms with the idea that nobody is watching over the world and no matter how "good" you behave by any rule book, bad things are going to happen. |
False dichotomy. I'm not the first person who has complained about why my life sucks and why things out of my control have happened to me. Ever read the book of Job?

How can you be sure your situation is bad? You could be upset because you are disadvantaged in some areas compared to others, but you could also be happy you are advantaged in some areas compared to others... And my point isn't that you should be on the positive side of that spectrum, it's that you can live feeling a lot better about your life if you throw away the duality and see that such concepts are relative and have no real meaning.

I seriously doubt a lot of people would say having ADHD, bipolar disorder, and PTSD, plus making a salary below the poverty level is somehow a good thing. Please explain how this can be good, or how can I throw away the duality when I see others living more prosperous, emotionally healthier lives every day.
