We suffer when we lose something, money, friends, wife, son, brother, husband, boyfriend, girlfriend, car, house, limb, reputation, job, civil rights, bodily freedom. We suffer because we, in our ignorance, refuse to admit that none of those things were ever truly ours in the first place and since they have a temporal nature they must necessarily eventually come to an end. They are the property of The One. If we weren't ignorant, and we had the strength to admit the truth about the things we say belong to us, that they really don't belong to us, we wouldn't see their loss as suffering. If we weren't ignorant we would keep our mind in resonance with the One and be at peace. We would seek to conform our will to that of the One. ("Not my will, but thine be done.") We would seek only our true Good, The Good.

I know all of this is hard to accept. We have a powerful attachment to justice, and a powerful attachment to whatever we hold dear. It hurts a lot when we experience what we see as injustice, or lose what we hold dear. It seems outrageous to suggest that we can gain enough strength to have perfect peace of mind despite all of these apparently horrible things happening around us, but that's the point of why we're here.

When we can be at peace despite everything the world throws our way, then we will know the architect and we will be free.

Entropy which is inherent in what are called natural evils is the increasing lack of organization in a closed system, or rather the lack of the divine will and creativity. It is divine will and reason that causes things in a closed system to increase in organization, and lack of divine will and reason that allows things to degrade.

The One allows this exchange so that we can experience love and strife and subsequently grow. The only things that are truly ours are our will and reason and the subsequent ability to choose to attain to true happiness through virtue, and unity with the One.
