Interpretation
Jumping to conclusions with superficial knowledge is always a dangerous affair; especially when it comes to matters of the Universe
The blueprint of this Creation that was used by the Creator is not accesible to us...we have no clue on the purpose of this Universe & the inter-dependence of the beings here
What is seen & being perceived by us is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg
With such limitations, do we humans even have the right to determine between the good & bad in this Universe
Mankutimma, it is only when we take the effort to introspect deeply that the real Truth of this Universe would start to emerge, this is a difficult process & not possible for most. Only then would man start to differentiate between the rights & wrongs...else, it is all false.
