Although we don't always know what our exact purpose in life is. Many times we never find out.<br /><br />However, there are people who have a different goal than others and in order to accomplish the goal they may be provided with money. Others with another goal may only reach their when they are poor. <br /><br />It is very hard to find out G - d's intentions but I don't think that everyone poor has to suffer. There are many people who have less money but are happier than any rich person. Wealth is not everything in this world. <br /><br />On the other hand, people with money have the obligation of helping the poor. This alone is a Mitzvah and this is how the rich are able to do good. <br /><br />The path people choose can be either good or bad. The perfect choice would be the good path but there are enough people choosing the opposite. Nevertheless, this has nothing to do with anyone choosing to commit suicide.

For example, you said he is testing them as he gives them money. What about people who HAVE no money and yet are completely evil.<br /><br />"Good" things happen to bad people all the time.<br /><br />Another example is this, Pirkei Avot, "What is the right path a man should choose? Whatever is honorable to himself, and honorable in the eyes of others." (2:1)<br /><br />In otherwords, if I think it is honorable to kill myself via seppuku, then I suppose you're supposed to see it that way also?<br /><br />:)<br />-EricAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
