A question of faith

Why do other people have to suffer for the rest of us to realize that we are blessed? If we are in distress, why should we feel better that others are in a more difficult situation than we are?

Isn't that unfair?

I once heard this homily sa GB chapel. We always ask kung bakit saten nangyare ang misfortune na yun. Ano ba ginawa nateng masama?

Pero pag may good fortune, we never ask "What good have I done to deserve this?"

david, How do you pronounce that? hehe

aajao, Yun nga eh. Pag tinanong ako ng batang may sakit, masasabi ko kaya ang linyang yan sa kanya?

Chyng, hmmm...

depende sa sitwasyon pero posible. pwede mo rin ngang maturuan yung bata na lalong maging mas matatag ang pananampalataya nya kahit nasa ganun syang sitwasyon ;)

aajao, sabagay. Pero I still think it's not fair para sa kanya na malagay sa ganung kalagayan just because "there's a purpose or a reason why"...
