Imagine:

That you are not inside the world. You are not inside a body. You are not tied down or connected to anything. You are a mind, a spirit. Nothing more.
You are floating above the earth. You see everything. People, actions, thoughts, dreams, hopes, ideas, desires. You see sin and you see justice. You see poverty, wealth and greed. You see lust and you see love.
But you're not concerned. You're objective. Removed from the situation. None of this affects you. You have no right to be angry, you have no right to be happy. You don't control the actions of the people you see, you can't even converse with them. You can't take pleasure in what they do, because none of it is due to what you have done. You are alone.
Now imagine that you are involved. You can change the outcomes, it's all under your control. Does that change how you respond? Are you angry at a woman as she takes off her rings and cheats on her husband? Or do you blame yourself for not stopping her. Maybe you did stop her, maybe the adulterous deed never took place. But that's removal of free will. Perhaps you are the one in the wrong now.
Are you?
Imagine this is your world. You can leave it alone, give it up as a lost cause. Or you can nurture it, as a mother nurtures her child. Allowing mankind to make their mistakes, always pulling them back before they destroy themselves.
Imagine, you are god.
What do you do? Are you controlling? Are you loving? Are apathetic and occasionally malevolent, toying with the humans who are within your control.
Well? What do you do? Your god now. Do something already.

Oh, you're not sure are you?
Give it a rest then. Shut up and give God some credit. Because if it was you in the big chair, you wouldn't be doing much better.
Be happy with what you are. Because you aren't capable of being anything else.
