This is one of the best explanations of "WHY GOD ALLOWS PAIN & SUFFERING" that I have seen.
~ worth reading~

A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects. When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said:

"I don't believe that God exists."

"Why do you say that?" asked the customer.

"Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine a loving a God who would allow all of these things."

The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument. The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt. The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber:

"You know what? Barbers do not exist."

"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber. "I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!"

"No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside."

"Ah, but barbers DO exist! What happens is that people do not come to me."

"Exactly!"- affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES exist! What happens is that people don't go to Him and do not look for Him. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."



一個男人到理髮店光顧。理髮師邊理髮邊和他天南地北地聊著，然後他們聊到有關神的話題上，理髮師說：

「我不相信神的存在!」

「何解這麼說?」客人問道。

「你只要到街上逛個圈，就會發現神是不存在的。如果世上有神，為何會有那麼多被病痛折磨的人? 為何會有被遺棄的小孩? 如果有神，就不該有苦難。我實在難以想像一位仁慈的神會容許這些事情發生。」

那位客人想了片刻後沈默下來，他並不希望在這話題上爭辯下去。理過髮後客人便離開了。

當他離開理髮店後，不一會，在街上看見一個頭髮長而蓬鬆，污七八糟，鬍子久未修刮的男人。然後那位客人折返理髮店並對那理髮師說:

「你知道嘛? 這世上沒有理髮師的。」

「此話怎說?」理髮師摸不著腦袋。「我就是理髮師，要不剛才誰替你理髮呢!」

「不！」客人大喊。「世上當然沒有理髮師，如果有的話，怎會有頭髮又長又髒，而且鬍子長得一大把的人，就像外面街上的那個男人！」

「噢！但事實上真的有理髮師嘛！只是那些人不來找我也沒法子啊！」

「這就是了！」客人猛然點頭。「這就是重點！神，也實實在在的存在！只是人們不相信祂，也不去找祂。這就是為甚麼世上有那麼多苦難。」
