This quote reveals a deep sense of confusion and emotional pain, often rooted in feelings of unfairness or survivor's guilt. It highlights the human tendency to question divine will during times of tragedy and loss. Such sentiments are common when facing grief, as the individual struggles to comprehend why certain life-altering events occur, especially when they feel undeserved. Processing these feelings can be challenging, but they also open avenues for reflection on acceptance and understanding that some questions may remain unanswered while healing gradually takes place.

Pretending,' she looked at the garden, 'is not the truth.''But you said two true things, right ? One, you hate this girl. Two, you want her to feel better. If you decide that the wanting truth's more important than the hating truth, just tell her you've forgiven her, even if you haven't. At least she'd feel better. Maybe that'd make you feel better too. — David Mitchell

Got here half an hour ago and had a look, eyeballin' it," Sawyer said. "It's murder, all right. Tell you something else - the sun went down, and it's as dark as the inside of a horses's ass out here. — John Sandford

You go first.Go through the door before me.Enter the limousine while I wait by your side.Enter the shops while I stand behind, guarding your back.Sit at the table before me.Please, sample the tastiest morsels while I sit quietly. My desire is that you go first, in every occasion of earthly life.Only once will I go before you,And that will be at my last moment — Jean Sasson

The tension of opposites — Morrie Schwartz

What do people fear most about death? I asked the reb.Fear? he thought for a moment. 'Well, for one thing, what happens next? Where do we go? Is it what we imagined?That's big.Yes. But there's something else.What else — Mitch Albom

He was near tears, 'Who do I blame?' he kept asking me. 'There is no God.I can only blame myself.' The Reb's face tightened, as if in pain. That, he said, softly, is a terrible self-indictment. — Mitch Albom

Look, if you say that science will eventually prove there is no God, on that I must differ. No matter how small they take it back, to a tadpole, to an atom, there is always something they can't explain, something that created it all at the end of the search.
And no matter how far they try to go the other way – to extend life, play around with the genes, clone this, clone that, live to one hundred and fifty – at some point, life is over. And then what happens? When the life comes to an end?
I shrugged.
You see?
He leaned back. He smiled.
When you come to the end, that's where God begins. — Mitch Albom Have a Little...

Personally, I always wondered about authors and celebrities who loudly declared there was no God. It was usually when they were healthy and popular and being listened to by crowds. What happens, I wondered, in the quiet moments before death? By then, they have lost the stage, the world has moved on. If suddenly, in their last gasping moments, through fear, a vision, a late enlightenment, they change their minds about God, who would know? — Mitch Albom Have a Little...

It's the same thing with faith, by the way. We don't want to get stuck having to go to services all the time, or having to follow all the rules. We don't want to commit to God. We'll take Him when we need Him, or when things are going good. But real commitment? That requires staying power‎-‎-‎-in faith and in marriage.
And if you don't commit? I asked.
Your choice. But you miss what's on the other side.
What's on the other side?
Ah. He smiled, A happiness you cannot find alone. — Mitch Albom Have a Little...

What is the reason?' 'Finish your journey and you will know. — Mitch Albom The Time Keeper

It is much more pleasant to feel that God heard you and said no, than to feel like no one is listening to you — Mitch Albom Have a Little...

I needed help. Why didn't you help me? . . . God . . . forgives me. Why didn't you? — Mitch Albom The First Phone...
