God is biased... not sure why though...!

Sometimes it makes me wonder whether God has been fair to everyone in this world. I am a strong believer in God but still I get a feeling that he misses out on some people many a times... There are some people in the world who do not get any kind of happiness, while there are others who can afford to lead a very comfortable and high society life... There are millions in India who are malnutritioned, unable to lead a sound life, while there are some like Ambani who can waste 70 lakhs INR just for one month's electricity bill and have a 28-storey apartment just for four members of his family. So, everything seems to be lop-sided and it often reminds me of Kamal Hassan's opinion that - "I didn't say God doesn't exist... I am only saying it would be nice if God existed". Worst of all, it is very painful to see many people dying for no fault of theirs... some kids die of illness at very young age, some youngsters become victims of rape and assault and many people in their 40s and 50s have an abrupt end to their life due to heart attack etc... If you die due to a fault of your own, then that is justified... what if you are a victim of negative chance? Why doesn't God come to the rescue of these people who deserved to live life for a longer period? Isn't it unfair that they die this way...? Why are some born extremely rich, while some extremely poor? Why didn't God create a world with equal opportunities, facilities and wealth for all? Why does the maid in your house have to suffer so hard to lead life and why aren't you required to toil like her? Why does she deserve such a difficult life, what makes you feel you deserved the life you live now? Well... all I can pen down are a chain of such questions for which I have no answer... The only answer anyone can give to this is "FATE", which is very absurd and illogical...

So, what is it that you or me can do about all this? Pretty much nothing...? Well, the least you or me can do is to realize that there is always someone who is deprived of what he/she rightly deserves in this world. Look around you and you can find many who are not as well off as you... Try to make a small contribution to the needy in the society when you have resources at your disposal. I contribute 10% of my monthly earnings to the needy and it gives me great pleasure and satisfaction in doing it...  10% is not much at all... but at least it might benefit one or two people unknown to you in some way or the other. Do your part and experience the feeling of helping others. You surely deserve to live a good life, if you have the tendency and willingness to help others in whatever way you can.

I don't believe in donating money to God for some random poojas and functions. He never asked you for it and he doesn't need it either. You could instead use that to help the needy and you will be blessed more if you did that... Think for yourself.
