In this world, there are only two kinds of people who can be happy and successful.
One, who believe that God is almighty...then whatever good - bad, sin - virtue,
all is happening as per his will; the matter ends. Second, who believe that God

matter ends. But since all of us are stuck hanging between the two, we end up
being sad and unsuccessful.
