@drpraveenpsy To discuss the question- why God allows suffering?- we need to first establish what it is that means suffering, and whether God played a part in event that led to suffering.
In my opinion, God enables this system to function- where we can see the consequences.
@drpraveenpsy Suffering as a call for action- an ingredient (raw material) of omnipresent reaction which combined with the right attitude and action gives rise for upliftment as the product over time.
Suffering as perception (individual or collective) functions as a deterrent from irrational.
―Why should I fear death?
If I am, then death is not.
If death is, then I am not.
Why should I fear that which
can only exist when I do not?
Epicurus (Ancient Greek Philosopher)
“Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.”
A courtesan’s awakening and Vyasa’s subtle genius

Maybe he overcharged.
Maybe he didn’t smile.
But maybe…
he just loved too loudly in silence.
We all serve someone.
Some with words.
Some with coconuts.
The Man with the Machete
At first,
his tone cut like steel—
rushed, sharp, uncaring.
But then I saw
not the machete in his hand,
but the miles in his eyes.
Running two shops,
no pause, no partner—
only duty.
