I hadn't ever thought of this before now, but even with this one "ruler" example/experience, did God put the nun and me, in that instance under those circumstances, together to effectuate his work? We both had something to learn? 🤔 What do you think? How does that work with right place right time right circumstances, God works in mysterious ways, God brings us what we need, etc.?

That is a perspective I've seen. It really comes down to your belief. What even is god? Some Alien? Some artifact from the original singularity achieved somewhere in the universe? Some endless loop of creation and destruction to simulate the game of life? Just a vague Higher Power? Back in ancient times, The Church was the leader in science, as it was seen as an honorable quest to understand the ways in which god works. **%%Now%%** science in many ways has been corrupted ie "I **Am** the *science*" -fauci It is a good story you posted though, a great way to describe the opposing yet intertwined lessons for both you and the nun to learn. Your keen insight is not unnoticed. You probably needed some discipline and she probably needed to know better how to provide it. Each kid learns in different ways and a good teacher should adjust to the individual pupil. It's hard for me to give a clear answer, as "God works in mysterious ways" also applies to the people who are born into extreme poverty and suffering beyond their control. A good soul can face suffering, for what reason? I cannot decipher. Many work their way out from the suffering in some countries, many don't. However much of life is suffering, look at the lives of wild animals. Too paraphrase: "You will see me in the ways I move throughout the winds" *Can't think of the original quote*. Coincidence, deja vu whatever you want to call it, it certainly is real we all experience it.

You're spot on. I also cannot reconcile with the world-wide suffering.
