Do you think God should be blamed for the suffering in the world?

Not at all. God is not to be blamed at all. In fact, prayers to him will not only strengthen us mentally but also help us if he is pleased with our sincere efforts, wishes and character. 



Just yesterday, I watched the movie - Bruce Almighty where the leading role played by Jim Carrey blames god for all his defeats and then he meets God who transfers his powers to him. The character Bruce slightly misuses the power and ends up creating more chaos than ever. He realizes the importance of being God and the responsibility involved. 

we are responsible to an extent for our own troubles. we have been given the free will and the capabilities to do what we like as humans, unlike other species on this planet. What do we do, instead? We loot the planet, pollute it, cheat one another and then blame God for all the resulting confusion. 

If instead, we strive to be good to ourselves, our families and the society, the world would be a much better place. 

The few essential things we should forsake are :

  • ego
  • anger
  • uncontrolled desire
  • dishonesty 
  • attitude
  • selfishness
  • greed
  • jealousy 

If we let go of all the above, our life would be a miracle and we would thank god instead of blaming him.
