Something Wrong

Suffering tells us that something is wrong. If there were no suffering, how many of us would be concerned either with God or with the welfare of others? The overwhelming immensity of suffering, the fact that there is so much of it, ought to give us some indication of the magnitude of the wrongness in the world and the enormity of humanity’s sinfulness.
