Why do some people with no talent or morals have so much money and success while often deserving people starve?

The only somewhat plausible explanation is reincarnation. Those who are very successful for no apparent reason in this life are reaping the rewards from karma of a past life. And those who are deserving but unrewarded in this life will reap the rewards in the next.

You must be deluded!!!!America gives away billions every year in foreign aid,not to mention the billions taken away from the workers here in America and given the those who can't or won't work. And that doesn't even cover the monies given out by private charities and the good works that are being done in the churches across this great nation. And on top of all of that,America opens her doors to more immigrants than any other nation and gives them opportunities for a good life. Your wealth envy is sickening to me.Quit crying and do something to increase your wealth-earning potential and then you can give it all away. A person can only earn as much as another is willing to pay for their skills or services. The rich keep getting richer because they keep doing the things that made them rich.The poor keep getting poorer because they keep doing the things that made them poor!!!! You make me want to give you a swift kick in your ***!!!!!!!!!And that goes for the rest of you who say you are ashamed to be an American too!!!! AAAAAUUUUUGHHGHHGHGHG!!!!!!!!This question has made me so mad I have to go hit something.!!!!!!!!!!

The most talented people are technically the ones who know how to play the system so although I see your point I must disagree. Even when stupid talentless people come across large sums of money for whatever reason they usually lose it right away.

11 I returned to see under the sun that the swift do not have the race, nor the mighty ones the battle, nor do the wise also have the food, nor do the understanding ones also have the riches, nor do even those having knowledge have the favor; because time and unforeseen occurrence befall them all. 12 For man also does not know his time. Just like fishes that are being taken in an evil net, and like birds that are being taken in a trap, so the sons of men themselves are being ensnared at a calamitous time, when it falls upon them suddenly.

The rain falls on the just and injust. Nobody said life was fair. God is not like the gods before him that give favour to those that worship him. There is lots of food in the world to feed everyone, and technology to pull it off. it's greed on our part that stops that effort. It's the ultimate question of evil.

you will be rewarded in the after life, according to Islam. those people who follow the religion right, but are poor, will get into heaven, as opposed to the people who are rich and selfish, who will go to hell. if a poor woman donates 2 pennies when she only has 5, is more rewarding than a rich woman who gives $3 million out of $1 billion that she has

The voice that tells you that you define success on those terms is the deceiver and the deceived. You can't measure success because it is spiritual. If one "succeeds" on the left, then there is failure on the right. It is important to know where to stand.

It's called capitalism. It is all also about who you know, what family you are born into, etc. Some of the most brilliant minds in the world were paupers, so money isn't everything.

The rich and fame are mere earthly illusions compared to the rewards of those who lived with god's love

the bible talks about a rich man who had a poor ragged beggar near his gate. the rich man ignored his requests for help. before long, both died. the poor man went to heaven, the rich man to hell. "the first shall be last and the last shall be first". whatever injustices we might suffer here, it is our eternal destiny that matters the most. you can be certain God will judge all mankind perfectly in the end, those who are forgiven by believing in Him go to heaven, and those who are condemned by their own works who refused His forgiveness go to hell.
