“They held in their hands the light of creation – and returned to the world the light of death.” - Chaim Potok in The Book of Lights.
Things are good or evil dependent upon the way we look at them. What is evil to one person may be a blessing to another. Think of the farmer who anxiously awaits rain and the entrepreneur who has planned an outdoor exhibition for months. One wants a clear day while the other prays for a sopping rain.
Seen in this light, perhaps not all prayers can -- or should -- be answered at the same time, granting every hope.
