Perhaps there is a well of omnipotent/omnipresent benevolence at the heart of reality. Perhaps we function as its localized avatars, purposefully forgetting our true nature so it can enjoy contrast and challenge through unique configurations (us), which it can’t do in its omnipresence (because in its native state, it’s everything everywhere all at once, which means there’s no contrast because all is one) and omnipotence (in its native state, there would be no challenge or riddle it couldn’t instantly solve).
Perhaps we can access this deeper nature by releasing our internal mental obstructions, abiding in stillness, rather than continuously sprinting down imagined pathways. In that case, we might never have to explain or profess the concept of faith, because we’d be living, breathing, and embodying it. Perhaps that connection to our deeper aspect would open us to an abundance of possibility, where bad can become good and we are gifted with synchronicity and inspiration.
Or maybe it’s all just random chaos. Maybe we’re here to strive and suffer, and impose our view upon others so that they don’t do it to us. Personally, I hope that isn’t the case.
