Is there any rule or goal that is guiding this world?

Is there any order in the chaos?

Why does it appear that the Creator's mind is wandering from time to time?

Does not love His creation?

Is He not The Benevolent One?

If so, why are His creations struggling so much?

Mankutimma, why do we all not lead a less challenging life?
