Perpetually Perplexed

   You told us that you come to this earth and take reincarnation for punishing the bad and protecting the good. (paritranaya sadhunam vinashaya cha dushkratam) OK. Agreed. But what you did not tell us that in this process there will be many casualties.    Take the example of Mahabharatha (obviously). You did protect pancha (5) pandavas and punish the 100 kauravas.

And he will be the king after the war when pandavas win. Well you do not get its gist if you translate into English (or in other words my English is not up to the mark)     Mahabharatha is one epic of tragedies. Every character is living his/her own hell - Draupadi, Bheeshma, Karna, Kunthi, Gandhari. Look at Karna. He is a prince, son of the Mighty Sun God. But his mother left him and sailed him in the river. His Guru gave a curse to him. Draupadi insulted him in Swayamvara. Only good thing about his life is Duryodhana's friendship. That must be spoilt by kutila Krishna by mentioning that he is also a Kauntheya. Indra His death came by Arjuna shooting an arrow to his back when he trying...
