He sent them because LTTE was killing People.

LTTE became a killing machine because of ill-treatment of Tamils,

Tamils were ill-treated because, from the Sinhalese point of view, were usurping Sinhalese's Rights and Lands.

Tamils counter that Sri Lanka was Tamils' and it was developed by them!

The list is endless.

The point I am trying to make is that Justice or Injustice are relative terms and have no absolute term of reference.

It depends on the ever-changing circumstances and the individuals' perceptions of them.

So is suffering.

For the poor absence of Money is the cause of suffering.

For the Rich the presence of it suffering.

At the individual level what caused me suffering no longer causes it now,

As also Pleasure.

So these judgments a are variable and are not themselves the cause of Suffering.

As such things by themselves do not cause any suffering.

It is our reaction to and our capacity to handle them is the cause of sufferings.

Sufferings are,

1.Mental

2.Emotional and

3 .Physical.

Mental sufferings are those that occur in our mind because of our inability to cope up with things that happen which are beyond our scope.

Emotional sufferings are because of our inability to control our desires and attachments,

We take things to be permanent and yearns for them.

Like Love, Relationships.

All things come to an end in death ,if not earlier.

So sufferings per se are not real and are our making.

People may ask,

Take for example ,the Genocide of Tamils in Sri Lanka or the Holocaust inflicted by Hitler upon the Jews.

As said earlier the reason lies in the perspective of the people.

At the Universal Level there is no such thing as Good or Evil.

They are all Illusions pertaining to this Temporal World.

They do not affect the Self, the Atman.

It is beyond these.

Look at you self.

You have suffered.

Have you been suffering all through your Life?

People think only of sufferings and never recollect their Happier times.
