God gave us freedom of choice. It is we who sinned against God first. There is a price for our actions sinning against God, which is cause suffering. People like to blame God, because they want to hold themselves accountable for their actions. You are a weak, sinful human being with no wisdom, and is not qualified to judge God or His actions, who is way greater than anything your puny mind could comprehend

[@thefamousdjx]

Very interesting to see animals are quite intelligent enough for their own limited worlds and realities. I reckon they must be aware, I wonder what they think about the universe and if it pisses them off. Scares me to think there could be other entities that we just not aware of as humans that are even more intelligent than us and are viewing our lives basically as nothing in the grand scheme of things yet we out here thinking we are the shit when maybe in reality we just like that bird that got eaten and its life ended just like that. That bird had a family and life goals to learn how to fly properly and in future have its own bird kids but then suddenly lights out...
