Another example, is when you have a good job, and you have the resources to help and assist others in need. One day comes along and your sister comes to you and asks you for $300 because she is short on her rent. But, you tell her no you do not have it, but you do indeed have it, but you have not intentions of giving it to her. (Granted, you may have that sister that borrows money all of the time, but this is not that type of example).
This becomes a pattern and Father gives the order so that you will lose said job. Now, you will go through a learning process of becoming humble and have to depend on others, so that you may go through what others have to go through and that is the struggle.

I don't know about that. I have seen so many amazingly wonderful people go through so much crap in their life that it pratically breaks their spirit, their will to live. They didn't deserve such things to happen. What is anyone to learn from feeling so depressed and hopeless?
Interesting I didn't realize god is/was a socialist.
Sometimes people cannot escape circumstance or environment for a very long time, but is that a fault? Is it torture from God that they cannot escape a place merely to find better relationships? Something doesn't add up here.

Because some days I wonder if he's just an ass.

When one is outside of the body and free from the emotional toll that said emotions take on a person, many ask to experience these things before they are sent here. Many have a lot of choices in how their lives take place before they come, during, and after.
That is one reason of many. For an individual answer, that would have to come from Father, or, the person, but asked from both sides, the human side, and the spirit.

Here's my example: I am in college. To escape the place of prestige that I am at would be to destroy nearly everything I have worked for. The college I belong to is only 25% female. Half of that number know not how to show emotions, and the other half are taken. So yeah I keep ending up near the same type of girls, what kind of lesson is that?
Is Father trying to teach me to be gay perhaps?
As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"
"Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him."

Matthew 6:33 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.

I'm wondering how Father is going to teach you that "he" is also Mother.
