Don’t let your joy in the spiritual world blind you to the harsh reality of this world

The repetitive cycles of our lives feel pointless. God created the world cyclical, but He did not create cycles of suffering and sin. These cycles seem pointless, but what God has created is never pointless.

From the Bible book of Ecclesiastes and related passages, we learn that our current world is abnormal. This is not the way God created it. It’s only our “normalcy bias” that leads us to assume that these cycles of history, of life and death are normal. Death is an aberration in time, but we have become accustomed to it because we live with it.
