I also, like so many more, want to believe that the goodness will prevail in this world of ours.
Yet, though it is hard to see, good people seem to suffer more, the wicked seem to win, the unloving, the uncaring, the ruthless, the merciless seem to get even more brutal and bold, and the gentle majority seem to live with the pain of being treated unjustly.
It is kind of sad how the loving and peaceful world that we hoped for still seems to be the wish of the younger ones who are facing a seemingly even more cruel world.
Let me get the record straight, I am not a pessimist at all. On the contrary, I believe that behind the seeming chaos of life, there is an order that supports good intentions. This belief of mine is not only about the trust in the divine without a bias for a certain religion, but more of a belief in the unproved and for me the tested by time rules of the universe which at its own timing favors the good and just. With hindsight, this all is very true to me; the hard to endure part is the 'divine', the 'earthly and cosmic' timing.
The instinctive reaction to being faced with injustices is to retaliate. For many of us. It takes a lot of courage, compassion and patience to endure the desire to reciprocate the cruelty. If one gives in to that desire, the innately kind and loving suffer even more. Therefore, for the true believers in goodness, there is no other way that being true to their heart and soul which want and desperately try to believe in kindness.
No one truly knows what the after life is like if there is one; yet, for those who are able to do no harm and succeed in staying honest and loving, the gift is a peaceful heart and soul from having won an indescribable inner war.
May life protect all of those who are pure in heart.
