God Arises
Argument for the Life Hereafter
~ 221 ~
even animals like panthers, wolves and wild pigs
seem humane by comparison. Such things happen
regularly, on a large scale, and in an organised
fashion over long periods. Sometimes, they happen
too quite unabashedly in broad daylight for
everyone to see. In spite of this, they may not even
be mentioned in the world press, and false
propaganda can all too easily prevent their final
inclusion in the pages of history. Was this world
created simply to serve as a stage for all these
hideous dramas of fraud, wickedness, ferocity and
robbery? For neither is the oppressor taken to task,
nor are the grievances of the victims redressed. We
must face the truth: such a world viewed in its
entirety, reveals itself as suffering from abysmal
deficiencies. Our world is incomplete, unfinished.
This being so, a time will surely come when this
world will be completed to absolute perfection.
Now look at the issue from another standpoint.
Right from ancient times, the problem has arisen of
keeping people on the path of truth and justice. If a
group is vested with strong political authority, it is
possible that those subject to that authority might
not commit atrocities for fear of being punished.
