THE WHOLE PICTURE :

SOMETIMES,certain events or things don't seem to us to be good. This is because our scope is quite limited. We don't know all of the causes and effects,that surround each occurrence. Hashem sees ALL of His actions according to His master plan of creation. He can see that ALL is very good
(Tal Oros)

THA BACK SEAT GABBAI: A point is illustrated in the following parable. A guest in a synagouge found himself puzzled by the seeming randomness by which the gabbai distributed the aliyos. The gabbai called a venerable Cohen to the Torah followed by a boy barely past Bar Mitzvah for a Levi. He gave the next aliya to a simple man seated in the back row. The guest expressed his bewilderment to the gabbai. The gabbai said "Our shul has an elaborate system to ensure the fair distribution of aliyos. How do you expect to understand our system during a brief visit?" Compared to the length of the eternity and the complex webs of cause and effect throughout the world, our view of world events is as narrow as the guest in the shul. (Choifetz Chayim)
