Quote:Rhythm what are your thoughts on as to why some people suffer and some don't? Why are some born into poverty and and some in mansions. Who or what decides that as none of us ask anyone to be brought into this world.As we develop, All of us like to have a happy and prosperous life.The distribution of resources on this planet (and the populations leveraging them) are now and have always been uneven. The means available to reduce, minimize, or nullify suffering are, like the resources upon which they depend, unevenly distributed....and, lastly, people's emotional response to their circumstances is as wide and varied as we are. No one decided any of this, we all make do with what we have available in order to pursue our goals and...sadly, what we have available isn't always enough?
Or, you know...a magical moral normative force did it.........?
