It is not at all disturbing- only to the human mind- many of us choose to not see behind the pain, the guilt, the frustration of things that occur in our lives.

Is that what you would really say in the face of tragedy? I mean...pardon me, but that strikes me as sounding completely patronizing. Would you really say that a slave who did not own her own body simply had not come to understand the Wheel of her existance? That Jews should have appriciated what Auschwitz was teaching them?
You can say that i'm going for an emotional cheap shot....and in a way i am. But honestly...how do you confront massive amounts of disrespect for human dignity? How can you possibly maintain a respect for the value of human life if you see suffering as neutral in all situations? I don't mean to say anytime someone is sad, that its wrong and evil. but when people and societies begin to perpetrate crimes against people that deny them their status as a human being....thats when i would want nothing to do with a moral beleif that did not adequately condemn such atrocities.
