I see them, their situation tells me of nothingness. i am frustrated and insinuated by their pathetic situation. suffering, suffering and suffering, why All these evil? i bring my beliefs into the situations. i want my beliefs to suit the situation. God is all powerful, merciful, omnicient and generally- Love. in suffering there is pain,desolation,despair and generally- no Love. therefore, God is not, in suffering.
But they in the situation experience being. they feel lifted to a level beyond suffering. that in the same suffering, they are consoled and are somehow at home. they ascribe to a beyond the suffering, hope and trust.
The evil drives to atheism, the evil drives to theism. in suffering we see the beyond, in suffering all is nothing. this is the real paradox. the real paradox that leads to the question of life.
