There is No Short Cuts to Happiness!

Why do people turn away from God? I think it is because people want more than what God has given them. God was stingy with creation. God could have created any world he wanted. He could have created a world without conflict, without pain or Death. And what did he create with all of the realities available? A pity cramped needy world. Well the way I see it - He has given us Free Will! Pain reminds us to avoid that what hurts us. Conflict challenges us to be better than what we think that we are. Death gives us a chance to sum up all of the good that we have done or left undone in life. It is a painful world. It Shapes a good heart and common sense. It is good to have someone around to remind us.
