This is our exile.Some love this punishment so much they cling to it rather than eternal bliss. It is on the path of suffering that the Church comes to meet man. Suffering is common to all. If you see injustice struggle against it. God became a man familiar with suffering and an acquaintance of grief. The gross inequlities in time are manmade. God declared creation good. Earthquakes, Tsunamies are parts of nature. We’re making better predictions, but physical death, until He comes, is part of life. From my grevious poverty I praise his indescribable generosity. All is Grace. Let nothing disturb your peace in Christ.

Yes - suffering is universal. But aren’t the ends justifying the means, still, if people are given better experience in heaven for suffering, or even if the absence of God stopping the suffering is justified because the suffering person goes to heaven?

And doesn’t the entire doctrine of “the ends never justify the means” contradict the beatitudes? If you inherit the earth because you are meek, isn’t it just that?
