Struggling with the need to know why this happens?

Question

I often think too much, and sometimes that is my problem. I am a good person, law abiding citizen, work a full time job and have a good husband.
I am often quickened to anger when I see such injustice in the world. Why do people kill other people, or steal their babies, or do drugs, or hurt other people? Why do they rip people off? Why can't we respect our President---that should go in another category, I guess? Why do people hate so much that we have to have a war over it?
If I could just accept that these things have to happen, it would be a lot easier on me, but for some reason, I just cannot ever see myself doing these kinds of things. What is it with people that they have no heart?
I am not judging anyone, even though I would love to. I just don't understand sometimes, and get so perplexed.

Answer 1

Sounds like you have a calling on your life to step up and do your part to create awareness about it. God blesses us all with a mission to fulfill for Him before we leave this earth, and if those are things you are passionate about then maybe you need to pray and get guidance on what you are supposed to do with that passion.

Answer 2

There are as many answers to this question than there are stars in the sky.This is what I think. Each person has the ability to do good or bad.We choose which one every day.It's always a struggle to choose between our animal side and our sense of fair play.Unfortunately,some people just don't have the ability to choose correctly.They see the world as something to possess,to manipulate,to control.Some see their own lives spinning out of control so they try(in desperation) to gain control by lashing out at other people.Luckily,most people realize that to live in a civilized society we need to choose somewhere leaning toward the good side of our nature.Of course,this is just my opinion and I'm man enough to admit I could be wrong.
Like you,I sometimes spend a lot of time thinking about these things.But you know what? I think it's better to think too much than to think too little.The best thing we can do about all the wrongs in this world is to help each other in any way we can.I truly believe that one act of kindness(by you) makes up for ten acts(by someone else) of anger.

Answer 3

I know exactly how you feel, but you've just got to know that you cannot control how other people choose to live their lives,I believe that for every man made misfortune,God heals in his own way,those who kill others, destroy other people's lives,will pay in the end, as for those who drugs, they need to be pitied,not hated, they really do need help,you and I will never understand what drives them to do drugs, but then again human tragedies come in all shapes and sizes ,be thankful to God that you dont have any such desire, and that you have hope and optimism and love in ypur life to hold on to, and meanwhil pray for those who dont'.

Answer 4

I think the media really desensitizes people.
