What the point of being born into this world, when some of us have to struggle and suffer to live?

Question

Why can't heaven be given right now, to end millions and millions of suffering and sadness

Answer 1

The seed cannot know what is going to happen, the seed has never known the flower. And the seed cannot even believe that he has the potentiality to become a beautiful flower. Long is the journey, and it is always safer not to go on that journey because unknown is the path, nothing is guaranteed.



Nothing can be guaranteed. Thousand and one are the hazards of the journey, many are the pitfalls - and the seed is secure, hidden inside a hard core. But the seed tries, it makes an effort; it drops the hard shell which is its security, it starts moving. Immediately the fight starts: the struggle with the soil, with the stones, with the rocks. And the seed was very hard and the sprout will be very, very soft and dangers will be many.



There was no danger for the seed, the seed could have survived for millennia, but for the sprout many are the dangers. But the sprout starts towards the unknown, towards the sun, towards the source of light, not knowing where, not knowing why. Great is the cross to be carried, but a dream possesses the seed and the seed moves.



The same is the path for man. It is arduous. Much courage will be needed.





a small wildflower that has met the challenge of the rocks and stones in its path to emerge into the light of day. Surrounded by an aura of bright golden light, it exposes the majesty of its tiny self. Unashamed, it is equal to the brightest sun.



When we are faced with a very difficult situation we have a choice: we can either be resentful, and try to find somebody or something to blame for the hardships, or we can face the challenge and grow.



The flower shows us the way, as its passion for life leads it out of the darkness and into the light. There is no point fighting against the challenges of life, or trying to avoid or deny them. They are there, and if the seed is to become the flower we must go through them. Be courageous enough to grow into the flower you are meant to be.

Answer 2

Don't read this and think im insane. No-one knows what is out there beyond our solar system, so why do we assume it is just endless stars and comets and space? It might all seem so big to us but actually we are so insignificant that our whole solar system is part of a part of a part of something so much bigger.



Maybe there is no heaven. Maybe we are like mould, growing on a rock. (If the earth is a rock and all living things are mould.) Maybe the world is really microscopic and it is a flea cell on a giant dog. What is the universe is really microscopic and the earth is an atom in the cell which is a part of a strand of giant dog fur.



Maybe there is no god we are just a strnge occurance that materialized over squillions of years byy chemical reactions to do with time. Nobody knows.



So who says there is a God or a better world after this one.



Thats why i don't think about dying or what is next for us. We can't possibly know so why not just live for the moment, Christian, Buddhist, Jewish, Islamic values are all character building and good basises for our morals but we can believe in the teachings- of how we should care for one another ect without taking the fairy tales on. No body knows

Answer 3

This has been a burning question on most everyone's mind. The truth is if we were to come to terms with the fact that re-incarnation exist, then we will understand that based on our past lives and actions, we are being given the life we deserve be it good or bad. There are many examples of different types of lives people live and this will account for why we are how we are. Its not God's fault or wishes that we are like this, but rather our own doings from this and previous lives. Ultimately, we are destined to be liberated from the cycle of birth and death upon attaining perfection in that which is all good and loving.

Answer 4

Heaven is given to those who believe that Christ died on the cross to save us. You will not find anywhere that it says that we are not to suffer in this world. As a matter of fact, God said that because we are believers we should expect to suffer. But when we compare the suffering (and it can be hard, and seem like forever) with eternity it is temporary. Here is someone that has struggled with a pain disease for almost 40 of my 50 years. And has a disabled husband. We struggle daily, and it can get hard, and I wish and pray the suffering would end, and then Christ reminds me that one day I will suffer NO MORE, and there will be no more pain, or tears or dying? Hallelujah!

Answer 5

I have no answer. People are selfish and non-giving, non-caring.



There is no heaven, unfortunately. I am sorry that people have to struggle. I give as much as I can afford. I support a child in Ethiopia and I support several charities in my country (Australia). I am chilled by the fact that there are so many rich people in this world that will never, ever be able to spend their fortunes in their lifetime. Their combined wealth could alleviate all suffering on this planet for all time. I apologize for their selfishness and greed and wish that I had their wealth that I could prevent pain, suffering and struggle.

Answer 6

So you can study to improve, attain enlightenment and end suffering.



1. Life means suffering. To live means to suffer, because the human nature is not perfect and neither is the world we live in.

2. The origin of suffering is attachment. The origin of suffering is attachment to transient things and the ignorance thereof.

3. The cessation of suffering is attainable. The cessation of suffering can be attained through the unmaking of sensual craving and conceptual attachment.

4. The path to the cessation of suffering. There is a path to the end of suffering of gradual self-improvement which is the middle way between the two extremes of excessive self-indulgence (hedonism) and excessive self-mortification (asceticism).

Answer 7

You only suffer because you desire, but you can't eliminate desire without desiring that it be eliminated. So what you do is simply accept life exactly as it is... give up the struggle completely. Don't try to desire anything, and don't try to not desire either... just give up all illusion of control and just watch life happen, and then realize it's all a game and that you are not just playing the game, you actually are the game too. Then you will see what life is all about.

Answer 8

God will deliver earth into heaven, that is His promise, but when He does countless people will be doomed to hell as they are still evil in the sight of God.



This is why we should be set about the work of spreading the good news of deliverance so that as many that can be saved will be saved.



It's like the end of the movie Schindler's list. Schindler had labored for years and lost his entire fortune to save 1000s of jews from certain death at the hands of the Nazis. But at the end of the war, he did not celebrate his accomplishments, he lamented that he had not done enough to save more people.



Don't rush to God's judgment, it will come sooner than any of us truly desire.



Hope that helps.

Answer 9

How much you suffer and the things you have to conquer are all totaled up in heaven when god gives you the final judgement. Those who lived great lives as snobs and were mean to the poorer will have the opposite lives in heaven and or hall. Those who suffer daily and yet are able to remain kind and forgiving will live great lives in heaven.

-Hope this helps

Answer 10

Everyone suffers, but everyone also feels joy even people in the most desperate situations. Life is good, life is meant to be lived and enjoyed. Even if the enjoyment only last a moment.

Answer 11

life is never without hard times, it's all about becoming a better person from your experiences and learning that something good will come if we are patient.

and what is heaven? is it just the end of life, where someone in pain is no longer in pain, or how some people see it.. in the clouds with angels etc..?



,my opinion :)

Answer 12

In Islam which stated in Qur'an "God Almighty' to test human in this world. If they do all the good thing and follow the Qur'an through their entire life human will be rewarded and go to heaven and if they do the other way round they will be punished and throw into hell.

Answer 13

Children are born naked and empty-handed everyday meaning their parents bring them into this world.



Whereas children who are born into the mouth of Golden or Silver spoons are luckier than other. Fate and destiny are predetermined by God and sruggling and sufferings are part of human life because of bad karma inflicting upon them.

Answer 14

I think that suffering strengthens people, and it makes people appreciate the good things they experience. If your life is all good and no bad, there's no way to make comparisons, and things lose a lot of their meaning.

Answer 15

We are spiritual and physical beings. we choose to bring evil into this world by constantly seeking to satisfy our physical desires, and ignoring our spiritual fulfillment.

Use your time on this earth to be a positive force - helping others. Nourish your soul by appreciating the good and the wonderful.

Heaven will come to those who are patient, and good.

Answer 16

Life itself is suffering & it is the survival of the fittest. You have to go through life in order to get to Heaven. There is no other way.

Answer 17

Suffering can end once people turn to Jesus the savior and healer.



But how will they turn unless someone speaks and shows them the truth.



If they believe a lie they reap the consequences and their family also. Satan's lies and works must be exposed first!

Answer 18

weeping may endure for a night but Joy comes in the morning.wake up and thank god your alive.You were born for a purpose.You can't deny that for yourself.You need to reach out to Jesus christ and accept him as your lord and savior.He loves you you know that? go to a church that worships god.go t that alter and receive christ into your life today.let me know how things are going.I really care ok?Im not like some of these zombies on answers that come up with some hair brained remark.thy have to give account of every word.Take care and reach out to god

Answer 19

There is no heaven and the joy is in the journey. Those of us who "suffer" have only ourselves to blame. We can choose to be miserable or happy and fulfilled it is always up to us how we wish to live.

Answer 20

Duh! Because he is testing us!



He already knows the future so knows if you will pass or not.



But that is besides the point.



He is all powerful and could have created us in tact with all our memories in heaven or hell.



But that is also besides the point.



He could have created a world without starvation.



But that is off the topic as well.



There is also little doubt in my mind that no god exists.



But I digress...

Answer 21

A wise man once said, "them's the breaks." See, the more that we struggle to survive, the greater the rewards we reap.



Although, this heaven place does not exist.

Answer 22

There is a master plan not designed by man. If we knew the answers to deep questions such as this we would be equal with GOD. That's never going to happen......... We still must live by faith and trust that he knows what he is doing.
