Question
If there are so many mitzvot commanding compassion toward all creatures, and compassion is what Hashem wants from us, why are there so many unfortunate people and so much suffering in the world? If Hashem did not want this, it would not happen. How can this be understood from the perspective of faith and halacha?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
We know that everything that Hashem does is kindness and mercy for a person.
All the difficulties that Hashem brings are for a person’s benefit, and if he knew why he needs them and what benefit he will gain from them, he would rejoice in the difficulty.
