Very true.

I engaged with the question via this poem I wrote:

"God

So many ask

Why do you allow suffering?

Why should we believe that you exist?

Child, why must I prove existence to you?

Please God

Everyone teases me so

Say I must be mentally ill

Believing in imaginary source of strength in sky

Oh child, why must you fear others’ opinions?

Child,

I love you

Without conditions

But your life is yours to live

Creator, please tell me what is its purpose and meaning?

Oh love

Enigmas last

Humans want proof of All

If I should reveal your purpose

Would you stand atop Solsbury Hill and with courage eagle fly?"
