This is a question that some of my best friends have asked me.(the very fact that they are my best friends would mean that they are good people...).Some of the common questions are "Ye mere saatha hi kyun hota hai?".Anyways, i was thinking what do i tell them when they share their feelings with me?How can i console them?
Some people say the answer lies in 'karma theory'.They say you might have done something in your previous birth...arre then why punish him/her in this birth...not very convincing right?? My mind started pondering over this issue and then a thought dawned upon me.I think God,probably, makes the good people suffer because it is through them that the world can learn the 'ideal way of life'.Also,it is only they who have the capacity to face difficulties.Our scriptures are a proof to my statement.In Mahabharata,Mother Kunti and her sons,the pandavas always faced troubles.However,God(Krishna) was always by their side and that is why people for ages have respect for them.Similarly,Rama had to face a lot of hardships and today people rever Him as their Lord.I dont say we are as great as them,but the good suffer so that others can look at them and emulate their ideologies and values in their lives too.
The need of the hour is transformation and for this 'the good people' have to make that sacrifice for the betterment of the society.It is the attitude that is very important.The perfect example is one of my friends whom i met this vacation.This friend(name undisclosed) had faced a difficult situation which i had seen myself.However,this person took it as a challenge and overcame it successfully.The friend later told me that it was an experience and not a hardship.......hmmm something that we could emulate...
