Ah, these are the questions of life. All these questions are easily
answered, if we know what God really want of us.
What God want? He just want to accept his commandments which he gave
to us through his messengers.
If the purpose is clear, then any difficulty in its path, can easily
be tolerated. But, to work for a life, which one is uncertain about
its reward, is very miserable to live.
