A child asks his father
"If God is real then why does my tummy hurt?"
The father is astounded by the question
"Why.. what does god have to do with your tummy achinging?"
"Well if god is the most powerful person, and he controls everything, why does he make my stomach hurt"
"Well…"
" i mean does god get happy if i get hurt"
"No, god does not get happy when you are hurt"
"Then why does my tummy ache"
" Well, because sometimes we feel pain, because we have to. Because the world is a painful place, and when we are little like you are…
"I am not little."
"Okk when people are little like i was, and big like you are, we feel a little pain to prepare us for the real pain in the world. Because god loves us, but he does not hug you all the time, just like you don't like me holding your hand to school anymore"
"I am a big boy now"
"Okk, I know baba, the same way god does not hold us always, so he lets us walk and fall, get a little bit hurt so that way we can be hurt less less."
"Ohh, is that why my stomach hurts?"
"No, your stomach hurts because you ate too much ice cream"
