Why bloggers remain silent witness
God declared to those whom he gave evidence, that he was the Alpha and Omega and nothing happens without his consent. Also there is mention of the Logo -- "in the beginning was the Word..." you know the rest. So, to my way of thinking, that which we call GOD, has had his hands on humanity, even prior to its creation. It seems to me that the omniscient Creator knew full well the end of days -- be they calendar or cosmic; to him it makes no difference; saw the direction mankind could take, and also the one that mankind chose. I figure to his way of thinking, the end will be the same regardless because God always has the "hole" card.
Each time I "visit" with God, I ask the same questions: "Why is there so much suffering in this world? And why does it go ignored by those who can make a difference?" The response is always the same: I must find out for myself. The questions must give up their true answers, just as the hard and crusted earth gives up its hidden waters, if one knows where to dig.
No one with a soul bares silent witness to such inequities; but one must accept the idea of "cause and effect" (karma to many);their realities and possibilities -- and reasons for manifesting in the form they chose. And those who would make things "better", had best understand . . . and there is a saying in Spanish . . . but I'll use English, almost the same: "Nothing is at it appears to be; nor as it appears not to be."
Sorry to take up so much space, but this is a very critical issue in human development and advancement, and one I'm glad you posted.

Why bloggers remain silent witness to human suffering
Oh well. Life is always full of sufferings and tribulations. My point of view is that, human beings will acknowledge God's existence and His power through sufferings. Human beings tend to forget God's grace when they are in good living. They are easily fall into devil's temptations and their greeds for this worldly materialism grow gradually. Subsequently, humans become greedy and forget all the virtues in them.
This is just my point of view.
Cheers

One of the (many) teachings of my (Roman Catholic) Christian faith, that I don't understand, is that, while we're expected to take full responsibility for our ignoble (evil) actions, which makes perect sense to me - none of this, " The Devil made me do it," nonsense - but what doesn't make sense, is when we do something noble ( good), we aren't allowed to take credit for it - for example, when someone was praising Michelangelo, back in the day, for his great work, painting the Sistine Chapel, his response was, that it wasn't he who did it, but God working through him - there just seems to be an inconsistency in teachings, there.
