Why Pain

God may see different priorities for us. Pain/stress/tension are seen by us as evil and as something to be avoided. But we seem to require stress and pain to move us to solve problems, change direction, Otherwise the body/mind tends to stay at rest. Perhaps pain/stress/sorrow/sadness is the force that comes between me at rest and the spiritual experience He provides as the superior position so as to avoid atrophy and inaction.

Probably among other things, i see Jesus suffering and death as a affirmation that death will not be the worst thing to happen. In His case, bowing down to Satan and being done with the pain would have been the worst. I just wonder how long thousands of children will have to starve for His point to be made obvious enough to produce the action in me to do HIS work.

Nonsense That Could Make Sense

Would it increase survival rates in airline crashes if the seats faced backwards? They seldom back into things at a high rate of speed. A sudden slowdown would be much more comfortable pressed against the seat rather than being pulled out of straining seatbelts. Remember, it was my idea.
