It's got nothing to do with religious views, it's a fact. We are
responsible for our own activities, there are universal laws, and if we
break the universal laws the result is suffering... It's just the way
it is.

If you read the other article I posted in this thread today you will
see that we do indeed have great compassion for everyone suffering in
the material world.

God, or the "Divine Justace" doesn't want people to suffer. They have
brought the suffering on themselves. We can't remove their suffering by
the methods you have mentioned but we can give them spiritual
knowlledge to solve the real problem.. << I don't know how to explain

You are blaming the wrong thing. We bring the suffering upon ourselves
by our own activities. It's our fault. And spiritual knowledge is the
way to stop the suffering...

Yes, you're right. We work so hard... But it's good for the economy!
BTW it's not only the sins from your past, but the good things as well.
Your past sins bring you suffering now and you enjoy as a result of
your past pious activities.
All the things you have mentioned here are pious activities and they
generate "good karma" so they are all auspicious. But ultimately we
have to get to the heart of the problem and solve that.

No you haven't understood it at all... "What you sow so shall you reap"
so if you hurt others you will have to be hurt in the future...

You have no choice in this matter... It's completely out of your hands.

At least you believe in God, that's a start!
Chant Hare Krishna and be happy!
