Babies born disabled physically or mentally.
Babies born with cancer and other life threatening diseases.
Children raped, sex trafficked, and murdered.
Children beaten to death by parents and sometimes by others.
Children dying of all manner of things and never getting a chance to live full lives.
Young people dying of all manner of things, even cancer now, just when they are starting their lives.
Serial killers, murderers, rapists, pedophiles, evil people.
People born predisposed to severe mental health conditions.
Men who physically abuse or murder their girlfriends or wives.
People predisposed to be incurable, insufferable jerks.
Evil people who write or say kill yourself to others.
People who dream of seeing politicians killed and encourage it.
And true love that turns out to be untrue and wrecks the fairy tale versions.
These are most of the things that bother me about this life, and, if a loving God exists, as opposed to an impersonal God devoid of love, or no God, I cannot understand how these terrible things are allowed to happen by a loving God.
On a lighter note, if when I die I could run the universe for even a week, as a temp Divinity, I’ll abolish those blights upon *humankind and the suffering they cause so many.
I will transform ice cream, chocolate, cookies and pastries
into super foods that will guarantee perfect mental and physical health, freedom from diseases, and long fulfilling lifespans.
And nobody will have to worry about putting on too much weight from eating those sweet health foods.
I will end wars forever, and people will be gentle instead of violent or abrasive.
Broken hearts will never happen.
Everybody will be born beautiful and equally intelligent with IQs through the roof.
Everyone will be loving and compassionate and wake up happy every morning.
And as a blue light special bonus, I’ll ironclad guarantee everyone will find their soulmates no later than age 18. And I’ll damn sure tweak those fairy tale ever afters to really be ever afters forever.
So if you are alive when I die and those things happen, you’re welcome, Kemosabe

* Saw a YouTube video where a woman corrected a man for saying mankind instead of humankind, and the guy who made the video was annoyed at the woman for saying that.
But I agree with her and though I’m not about wokery and PC, I feel humankind is more inclusive and fairer to women. And I’ll bet the guy who got annoyed at humankind wouldn’t have liked it if all of us were described as womankind.
