Purposeful, But Despised


There is nothing—no thing or event—that must be, that forces itself upon G‑d. All is deliberate, all has intent and purpose. And the ultimate good is hidden in that purpose.

Nevertheless, our G‑d is a G‑d that creates things He does not desire. Things about which we scream, sometimes in horror, sometimes in indignant outrage, "Why did You do this? How could You?!"

And all we receive is a silent tear from heaven.

Yet even the things He does not desire, they too have purpose.
