Is creator of this world cruel ?

Some people doubt that the creator of this world is cruel because the world around is no more than a bunch of chaos and sufferings.
Yes, their doubt is correct and they have the right to blame, but, just for SOME TIME.

Because, further the wisdom of the creator says -- that before this world was created all souls were in oneness with creator. "Souls were God were Souls"
Therefore, who is cruel ? Souls thyself took this cruel decision for thyself.

Can you still blame the creator ?

Yes, if God is souls and souls took this decision then God took this decision and logically God would be equally to blame as souls in my view.

That being said the "wisdom of the creator" never said any such thing and if you think i made any such decision to inflict cruelty on myself back when I allegedly had the power to give myself a cruelty free existence you could have asked me and I would have set you straight in my view.

Is it acceptable to blame one that acts as a result of ignorance?

What does blame resolve?

I think you could make a better argument for indifferent rather than cruel. If cruelty was the motive behind the universe, it would all be ****, rather than just some of it being **** for some people.

Gravity is not cruel, it has no mind to be cruel with, but it is relentless.

God, not something i believe in however, if such a thing exists and as claimed, it is omni everything, then reading the holy books* indicates that not only is it cruel but also a sadistic genocidal maniac.

* i am assiming the Abrahamic god

Whom to ask ? thyself ?
No questioner, No responder in the beginning.
Both questioner and responder were one with each other.

Soul is like a drop.
Like: dropS collectievly is = Sea.
Similary: soulS collectievly is = God

Rather than cruel, what you suggest ?

An Omni creator is, at best, indifferent or inept.

Do you remember anything before you were born? I sure don't!

I believe we manifested from infinite intelligence, but not a living source of it. If there is a living source then it's only learning, and trying to grow. Our universe is born from an infinite sea of possibility and potential to actualize. Intellect manifests from intelligence. I believe this always was. Intellect is spawned from intelligence. Intelligence does not have to be alive to be intelligent. Intelligence has goals, and creates purposes. Intelligence solves problems, and must obey logic and possibility. Logic proceeds from what is possible. It's perpetual intelligence flowing on and on.

A living source of all this intelligence is merely exploring possibilities and working within it's limits to gain more abilities. It could be otoh, that reason and life spawns naturally from a non living platonic realm of infinite intelligence.

Either way it rolls on perpetually and reason and intellect emerge in emergent life.

I don't remember the memories until I was arond 2 years old.
Does this mean that nothing happened with me ?
If you had an infinite past I would think your mind would be flooded with memories. Not so for me.

I've had false memories before from my conjured imagination. I've had deja vu. Yet I can distinguish between false and true memories.

Memories get blur by the time possibly they may arise or not but the experiences always remain with the soul and arise when required. Its the experiences that are carry forward, not the memories.

That is some another point of discussion.
