Of course, when you’re the hero, meaning a hostage of the situation, being put through the meat grinder, of course you get upset. But when you look at it from the outside, you kind of understand that it’s all God’s design — and that’s how we all live. It’s obvious that the most primitive people will always say — those who are superficial, not wise, still developing — they’ll say, “There is no God, because if there were, then this person wouldn’t have died. Why would God allow that?” But you have to think more globally. After all, if God created this entire world, then He also created death, and it’s needed for something. And of course He allows it. And if you were scientists or analysts, you’d know that death happens every second in the world — it’s part of nature. And you want to cancel it just because you, the egoist, didn’t like it. And that’s why you’re angry at God and believe He doesn’t exist. No, He does exist. You just don’t want to understand Him — how He is structured, how our system is structured, and why. After all, if it already exists, we can no longer resist it — the will of God and His plan. We see nature, and that’s the manifestation of God. And everything we see in nature — both bad and good — we need to understand why. That’s the essence of philosophy. Who is a philosopher? It’s someone who understands that we all die and always have, and who asks, “Okay, but why does God need this? What does it give Him? Or what does it give us, if it’s necessary? It’s not a mistake, it’s needed.” And primitive, shallow people tend to say things like, “My car was stolen, my relative died, that’s it — God doesn’t exist, everyone’s evil.” Well, hold on. Then who is God to you? God is what? Someone who should always help you with everything? If that’s how you see God, then yes — such a God doesn’t exist, and I agree with you. But if you perceive God as I do — that He is the entire system in which we live, the supreme intelligence, meaning a simulation with consciousness — then He does exist. And He’s in all of us, and that’s why He knows every one of your thoughts, every intention, and the day is programmed for us based on what intentions and values we carry inside — in our minds, in our souls, and so on. And all of this is part of a large divine plan. And what do you want? You see, you’re like a sunbeam’s reflection, a little bunny of light from a mirror. And you want to break that mirror? You can’t — you’re just a reflection of it. And you want to turn off the sun and the mirror? You can’t. The sun and the mirror — they’re your mother and father. And you are the sunbeam. Question is — why?
