The nature of evil

Why must darkness obscure light? Why must evil triumph over good? Why must our prayers remain unanswered? Why is good mistaken for weakness? Why is friendship taken advantage of?

Why must a 2 year old be an orphan? Why must a family be charred to death? Why must a husband not know where his wife is? Why must he be afraid to face his children?

These are heavy unbearable questions. No matter how steely one's resolve and how unbroken one's spirit is, one must ask: why is life so unfair?
