Take The Pain For The Good Of All

Many times in history class or just thinking about the world in which we currently live in, I ask myself why it is that so many people suffer. Why are some people brought up in rich families, and others dying of hunger? I never really understood this because it seems so unfair. Which parents you have shouldn't affect your ability to eat. I also ask myself if it's that there's only a certain amount of 'lucky people' and the rest are 'unlucky'. Another question that I ask myself is why have so many people suffered during history. While being in US History class, I just can't understand how the farm owners were able to consciously be fine with having slaves. Is it that some people have to suffer for others to have a good life? I then came across a line in chapter three that in a way backed up my hypothesis of 'suffering' and 'not suffering'. On page 27, it says, "when he told me that all is best for the world of ours." This line in a way explains how the 'unlucky' are made to think. The only way that a person who has suffered their whole lives can be okay with is it is they think that if they suffer, somebody else won't. Although I understand this, I think it's ridiculous. If I suffer, it doesn't mean that somebody else won't suffer tomorrow. I think that suffering is something that simply shouldn't be in this world, and everyone should have the same opportunities to do as they wish.
