A story is told about a King in Africa who had a close friend that he grew up with. The friend had a habit of looking at every situation that ever occurred in his life (positive or negative) by remarking, "This is good, Almighty knows best" |

@Inesqor: Your leave of absence! Where did you spend it? Methinks you moved to a village and spent evenings doing "alo o, Alo" with all these stories and proverbs. Abi you wish to write your own version of "the 48 laws of power"? |

Interesting theory and interesting story. The thing is the world and life are so complex and full of infinite possibilities that hardly can any single theory explain various things that happen. Yes, from a biblical point of view we can say "all things work for good" --- but how? How do you explain the wicked who end up being rich, live a blissful life and die peacefully and, at least in their own minds, happily and fulfilled ---- when many innocent people suffer all their lives and even die miserably for no obvious fault of their own? Many of the supporter of APC, or whatever they were called, got away with blue murder literally; news reports say some Rwandan murderers are living quietly, I suppose somewhat happily, in the UK. Children are born into poverty and squalor in several parts of the world and die miserable deaths --- some from preventable diseases. Some would attribute these to "previous lives", reincarnation, karma and all that ---- but is that really an adequate explanation? Meanwhile, that these fates befall honest and genuine Christians as well give the lie to the nonsensical prosperity "gospel" for the thinking Christian or person. |
