Passing Through a Hostile World to a Better Place

I think we're all, or at least those of us who are not really evil, passing through a hostile world to a better place, and that this life has meaning that none of us understands. We should suspect there are reasons for adversity, for changing emotions, for struggles with our thoughts, opinions, and understanding, with hatred, jealousy, and that we're finding meaning through our glimpses of happiness, our longing for joy, we're finding value in our fears, that our uncertainties matter about death, and finding hope, and that there are reasons we experience grief, that might seem meaningless, unfair, and without future purpose now, but that these are immeasurable learning stages we must pass through toward a far brighter tomorrow.

I know God is not a tyrant, that he is not irrational, therefore we must scrap and cover over some of the pages of our old books, written by the irrationality of irrational men like us, said to be God speaking, and realize instead that God knows the human heart, he knows ideas are not clear to us, the way not marked universally for all, and that all thought has its attraction, its persuasiveness, but that real fairness is on side with all human beings and will never abandon us as we humanity wonder in this place in the great mysteries unknown.

In the light of imperfect wisdom, where error, ignorance, misunderstanding exist here, but not completely, not forever; every person wonders an imperfect course, some figuring out ways of peace, of compassion, of love, others lost to a nature that never grows, never matures, but though so many are lost; though so many minds are filled with poison; despite the resolve to hate, to judge the worth of others, the light of love is never eternally extinguished because we are really in a world made by God who is far more just, fair, and compassionate then we realize.
