Hellooooo! How am I supposed to know what the lesson is? I never claimed to know what the lessons are, just that they exist. I only know my own lessons. You know your lessons.
And don't underestimate the gift of life. Even a 14 minute life. Who knows the importance of a little 14 minute old baby's death? God finds even the death of a bird important. Nothing is lost, nothing wasted. God knows what is going on. I don't.
I know very little about my own life, and I am not claiming to have the answers to all of life's problems. The life of that theoretical baby is it's concern, and maybe it's parents. My life is my concern. Your life is yours. But I do know enough of God through living my own life, the only life I have any personl knowledge and experience in, to know that God is good, that He is not the source of evil and pain, and that somehow He has all the 14 minute old babies in His hand and it is not in vain. I can't go any further than that. Sorry if I can't give you a better answer. But I am not God.
And don't say I'm copping out, because I would like to see you give a more watertight explanation of pain and God and the whole universe. I challenge you to try, and let me try to shoot holes in it.
