Question: Can you solve this puzzle please!?
Two wise men were chatting!. They both started to talk about what they would do if they were God!. One said, he would end poverty, wars, hate etc!. The other said "he wont change a thing"

Now this doesnt sound like a wise thing to say!?
Why would he say that!? I am confused!.

Please share your thoughts!. Peace, Love and Blessings!Www@QuestionHome@Com

thye second was the wiser!.!.if he changed anything he would have to know more than god!.!.and he was wise enough to realize he did notWww@QuestionHome@Com

Even if you do change things, they will always revert back to the negative aspect!. So why waste the energy and time working without a cause!! People are always going to be indifferent and unjust!. Wars will always occur, hate will always be a main factor in everyday life and poverty will always overcome those who are week!. Life will never change as we know it!. It is destined to be this way!. For without hate there would be no love, without war there would be no sacrifice and compromise and without poverty there could never be wealth!. Everything has a yin and a yang!. Without good there is no evil, example without God there would be no satan!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The one who would end poverty, etc!. is an idealistic dreamer with delusions of grandeur while the latter is a realist that knows the human race can not be manipulated into automatons for to do so would be dictatorship and mind control!. This one also most likely knows there is a God who understands Free Will!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

God gave us the ability to solve problems!. History is full of dead people who failed, but luckily full of people who succeeded!. We have energy and we have to use it!. That's how God surprisingly made us right!?
So why should we have a help of God if he has already made us able to help ourselves!? What he might mean by that is that there is only one universe with one way of being and if you change it it would be something different!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Dear Sir,
I am sorry, both the wise men are fools for the reason God is always neutral!. He does not show favours and disfavours to any one!. He has devised mechanism and accordingly the people reap the one they had sown!. These crises of powerty and wars & hatered etc!. are the creation of men's misdeeds!. Even God would not flout the rules he has set for his subjects!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The only thing that we can count on in this world is constant change!. NOTHING stays the same!. For him to say that he would keep everything the same would HAVE to be a MIRACLE!. It's normally impossible!

Peace, Love, and Light!

Reminds me of a joke I can barely remember!. God asks three people what would make them happy!. He asks an Alien!. What would make you happy!? He said, "Put all of my family and all of my friends in a safe place!" Then God asked an alien minister what would you ask of God!? He thought about it and said " Protect my people by surrounding their land with a great wall that is impenetrable and 18 feet high all around"!. Done, said God and there was a giant wall 18 feet tall and 6 feet deep into the ground!. And then God asked an Earthling what he would like and he asked God "All the Aliens from Planet 12 are in ONE place!? And there is a giant wall 18 feet tall and 6 feet deep in the ground and it is totally sealed!?" Yes, said God!. The Earthling looked at God and said "Fill it with water!"

Please, I am NOT against the
aliens from planet 12 so if this offends you please change the nationalities to something else!. Please don't report me since I am giving you the opportunity to put ANY nationality, even aliens from Orion if you wish!.

Peace, Love,and Light!
yeah !.!.!. they weren't aliens when the joke was told to me but I have already had ONE violation today and I am taking a chance that there are no aliens from Planet 12, or sympathizers, on Yahoo right now so !.!.!.!.

I agree with most of the answerers, but I would add that there is lots and lots and LOTS of stuff we don't even begin to understand about how life, love, and the universe work!. I suspect that what we see as suffering and evil, might be cogs that fit into sprockets of the universe that are so huge we can't understand them!.

I trust that God knows what He's doing, even though it often doesn't make sense to me!. So I agree with the 2nd guy: I wouldn't change anything!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I agree with what "the other" said!. Why change something if it is already perfect!? We don't have to understand everything!. At least not right now!. Whether or not it is a wise thing to say, is irrelevant!. It is an opinion and everyone is entitled to their own!. If we have questions, we can always present them to God!. He will answer them!.

second man was wise because all the hatred wars etc are man made and it is mans duty to end them not gods!.!.!.god had made this beautiful world and beautiful humans and so it is their duty to stop all this otherwise they will have to live in hell and this is their punishment!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

All events form us into the people we are today!. Anything changed would make us into strangers!. We would loose all the good to change one event perceived as bad!. As in nature, we have spring, summer, fall, and winter!. If you remove one of the seasons you no longer have a complete circle of life!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

hmmm, that's a tough one!. Perhaps by saying that he's pointing out the fact that the world is imperfect because we have all been given fee will!. We are all in control of our own actions/decisions and because we are human and given that freedom we will make mistakes hence poverty, war, etc!. Just a thought!.!. I don't necessarily agree but maybe that's what it's supposed to mean!. Thanks for putting my brain to work! lol Www@QuestionHome@Com

maybe the answer is this: because they both in the same time started to talk about what they would do if they were God, the second one said he wouldnt change a thing, in order not to undo the first one's wishes!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's all about the "revealing", of what has happened, is happening, and will happen !.!.!.in the spiritual realm!. God won't change a thing, because all hasn't been revealed yet!.
Peace and love!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

LOL - well - if all that is considered negative is ended!.!.!.!.and No More!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.would be the end of it all!? Maybe not!.

Humans might create a whole new set of problems!.

Maybe there is comfort in familiarity - even if it is destructiveWww@QuestionHome@Com

the first answer probably has it, but he may of also meant that god cant do everything for people otherwise people would never be able to do things for themselves!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Perhaps he means if he were god then he would do as god has already done!. He would think like god and do like god and so things would be exactly the same wouldn't they!. Hope this helpsWww@QuestionHome@Com

he wouldn't change a thing because with out all the poverty, wars and hate there'd be no love or compassion!.!.!.
you cant have compassion without suffering!.!.
thats the way i see it!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The other one knows that God is apathetic!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
