הצור תמים פעלו (האזיני לב:ד)

Two businessmen sat by Hakadosh Reb Levi Yitzchak of Barditchov zt’’l, bemoaning the hard times that fell upon them. The tzaddik asked them: “What would you do if you were to run the world?”

The first businessman replied, “I would make it so that there shouldn’t be rich nor poor people; everyone should be equal.”  The second person answered: “I would rid the world of wars and make sure that peace and harmony reign in this world.”

“And I,” said the Baal Shem Tov, “would create the world just as it is.  There is no doubt that everything that Hashem does is for the good; we just don’t understand Hashem’s ways.”
