To be happy without my wife or son in my life.

Answer 2

There are many spiritual lessons that stick in my mind. First of all I can't change anyone but myself, and, each person is at a different crossroads in their lives. We each need to learn our own spiritual lessons that apply to us, not those that apply to someone else's walk.

One thought that comes back to me over and over is that I should not doubt in times of darkness those truths that I've learned in the light. Don't lose my hope when all seems dark. Almost always I've found a glimmer of hope and light just when I have needed it most. Sometimes we are on the mountain-top so to speak, and other times you have to walk through some painful valleys of loss and hurt. Don't give up...

Answer 3

That men can moralize outside the box without god and do an excellent job but it takes the patience of more than a saint to see we are progressing when looking to the future that is not yet here. We have already begun to leave the past behind.

Answer 4

That prayer is not about asking to be given Help, but ask to be given the tools of Wisdom to help oneself. Millions in war torn countries and places of natural disasters look up towards God or some Divine Being praying for a miracle to help them, but 9 out of 10 such prayers I am sure are heard but goes unanswered. I believe at least once in our lives such a condition happens to us...

God/Divine doesn't STOP anyone from making a wrong choice or committing evil due to free will

therefore, pain and suffering that results from Human causes need to be faced by human solutions... that includes Wars and its victims, wonky weather patterns that result in horrendous calamities due to effects of Global warming etc etc. We humans made that choice due to ignorance and arrogance therefore we must face its consequences
