Dear Hareesh:
I read your posts from the beginning of your thread, February this year.
You started with your higher education degree being de-recognized, becoming worthless. You wrote about being born to a poor family and being unemployed. You wrote about your dreams that cannot be materialized.
You also expressed this belief: that these things happened to you because you are worthless, because god decided you are worthless and therefor you deserve for your degree to be de-recognized and to be unemployed.
You expressed a belief that god hears your suffering but lets you suffer because you are worthless and you deserve to suffer.
Reality is that millions and millions… and more millions of people, including innocent young children, babies, have suffered horrible pain throughout history and throughout the world. And many of them cried and prayed but they continued to suffer and many died early deaths. Many of the adults who suffered, cried, prayed and suffered anyway- were good people who like you, would feed a starving person. Many were bad people and many were in-between.
It doesn’t matter WHO you are and what your worth is, suffering happens to anyone, no matter who the person is. It doesn’t matter how good you are, how much you suffer and pray.
So take charge of your life, Hareesh, best you can. Nobody else is in charge of your life. Lots you can’t control, true and misfortune happened to you- but do take control of what you can, including correcting your thinking on the connection between suffering and personal worth.(You suffer not because you are unworthy).
