I doubt God plays favourites. This life is sufferings, like the tibetan buddhists know very well. I am not too down about this fact because life is very easy these days and has been, relatively speaking, for a while. So I know we can get breaks from intense sufferings and grow from them (sufferings) too. Each life I seem to suffer like mad, literally. (If I go by this life only anyway). But there are respite. And there is no denying white privilege in canada.
