Sometimes I wonder how God with all His love and mercy did not show us all directly, clearly and astoundingly that there is indeed an afterlife, or a heaven and hell for that matter. Why keep the veil upon his suffering people? And why reveal it to a chosen few? Does God not love us all?
Recalling however the parable of the weeds that grew with the good seed, maybe God does not want the good that would come out of it all by killing every weed that afflicts us in this life. Maybe it is enough to have left a few rays of hope that we may believe and yet not waste what good this lfe may offer us all.
