A million years ago or so it was all covered in vegetation while now human beings screwed it up.
Now is all polluted and the forests have left space to huge deserts.
Also the water and the air is so much polluted.
Now think for a sec that an hypothetical God created this universe.
He created it perfect.
No pollution, no deserts and so on so why God should be blamed for the rot?
The same thing (hypothetically) happen with human beings.
They came out from the animal form with no bad karma.
Nobody tortured them with all sort of trouble and sickness.
If they are sick or in trouble God can not be blame for it.
They screw themselves up with their own hands so to speak
But again God by allow you to reincarnate (hypothetically) give you the possibility
to sort out your problems.
That is why i personally think that if you throw away this possibility God will not be happy.
So if you follow this line of thinking you may understand that it is you that screw up
your previous happiness and therefore it is you that got to sort the problem out and regain
your status of a happy person.
How to sort out your problem.
First you need to understand that it is you that screw it up and God shouldn't be blame for it.
After this reasoning everything will be so much easier.  Smile

This isn't really relevant because I don't believe in gods and I have no plans to end my life, I only mentioned suicide as something I would do if it wouldn't have a huge long-term impact on several people.

However, out of curiosity, are you claiming that all illnesses are the fault of the people suffering from them? Either due to something they did in this life or a previous life? And what exactly is the nature of the solution you propose? If you're going to say I need to be a better person, I already am a pretty good person. In fact my current OCD 'theme' consists of feeling fearful for and worrying about the suffering of others, and often hyper-responsibility compulsions such as feeling compelled to give strangers a lot of money or invite them to live with me when I don't really know enough about them for that to be wise. It's not a well known or common theme but it's the most painful I've ever had. When it's really bad I spend entire days doing research and ruminating in vain attempts to answer the doubts about these situations and my own level of responsibility to do something about them. Then I dream about these things. When you treat OCD you have to resist compulsions as much as you can, because giving in to them just reinforces to the brain that the obsession does indeed still warrant attention and fear.

Many or most OCD obsessions are actually, in one way or another, about fear of harming others, either by intent ('losing control' or becoming a certain type of person) or by neglect. E.g. many or most people with contamination fears actually fear they will spread disease to other people more than they fear becoming ill themselves. Guilt is a major driving force. So telling us we ought to think even more about how to be a good, responsible person is often going to be exactly the worse thing you could do.



I certainly believe in karma or the law of action and reaction.
Just look at the statistics.
The cops are only able to get less than 10% of criminals so how 
would be possible for these people to pay for their crimes other than
reborn again and again and go through different forms of punishment
until all the debts are paid for.
Physically speaking every action has got to have an equal and opposite 
reaction.
As far as we are stuck inside this universe i don't see how we can evade this law.
As i previously said according to me there is no way you will be able to sort out your problems until 
you realize that we screw it up and we got to fix it up.
The power within is a real mighty power able to fix everything up.
Believe in it and you will get out your present situation.  Cool Shades
