InnerSelf Daily Inspiration - October 13, 2026

InnerSelf Daily Inspiration October 13, 2026 Have You Ever Felt Like Blaming God For All The Bad Things? By William Fergus Martin Once you are out of the swamp you can get to some high ground and get a wider perspective where things make more sense. Likewise rather than blaming God about why things like death, disasters and disease exist, it is better to align with what is good in the world, and what is good within ourselves. — William Fergus Martin Have you ever felt like blaming God for all the bad things, which are going on around us? Take death for instance. Why have a world with a nasty thing like death? Can't we all just live forever, or something? Yes, let's do away with death. What would the world look like then? Well, it might create a few problems. It is estimated that there have been over 100 billion people born in the world since it began. That is about 14 times the current population. The world would be a bit on the full side if all those people were all still around! If many of them were making babies it would soon be a nightmare. How would we feed them all? If they could not die what would happen to them when the food runs out? Nobody would be able to move for so many people and from being weak with hunger. Sorry, but eventually we would have to re-invent death. When we are happy we do not tend to wonder overly much about the purpose of life. Usually we wonder about the purpose of life when we feel low. Unfortunately that is the worse state in which to find, or create, any such purpose as negative attitudes will filter out the more pleasant possibilities till only the most unpleasant options are left. Read the Full Article Related Book: Forgiveness is Power: A User's Guide to Why and How to Forgive by William Fergus Martin. In this manual on how to forgive, there are insights and exercises without a preachy message or assumption that people “should” forgive. With chapters that explain what forgiveness is and how to deal with obstacles to it, it also addresses reconciliation with others and one’s own self. Practical and accessible, the book does not require religious practice or philosophy; it simply shows how to forgive in order to enhance self-esteem, be happier, and break free from limitations that can hold a person back.
