Why there is sorrow in world?

Question

we do come across many reformers,but they are not able to change the world.The most they did was the categorization of our deeds-whether good or bad.

Answer 1

there is so much trouble and sorrow and so forth, largely because so many follow their own will over that of the divine.

BUT also, there is purpose to getting questions wrong, to failing tests, to touching the hot stove...

you don't learn that the stove is hot, until you touch it. being told that it hurts and is hot, doesn't really MEAN anything, compared to the experience of touching it.

part of growing up is such negative things. aspects of it that are at the time, negative, all in the greater picture, serve a purpose, and teach a lesson.

yes, touching a hot stove hurts. but you learn. and in the greater scheme, thats really a very important aspect of things.

if everyone worried about improving their space, and the space of those around them and that they love, then collectively the whole world would be better.

Answer 2

In this world of duality sorrow exist because happiness exist. and all this is felt only when we start to think of them. thus actually the duality is present only after we start to think of the subject .or object it is not present before or after the mind changes its thought. or in the situation or subject or object. all these differentiation is done only to guide the humans by the reformers thinking that it can make humans do only good as per their definition.

Answer 3

Because there is suffering in the world. As long as there is suffering, there will be sorrow.

Answer 4

Because mankind is a time tested, proven failure. It's what we do, baby.
