Lencho had faith in God but lacked faith in humanity.Elaborate with reference to ' A Letter to God '.
Answers
It is quite true Lencho had complete faith in God but doubted humanity. Although, Lencho’s entire corn crop was damaged in the hailstorm, yet he was optimistic about receiving God’s help. He did not sulk, whine and pine; rather he wrote a letter to God for help.
Answer: Lencho had child-like faith in god. He couldn't even imagine that humans would help him, as from his childhood he might have realised that people only know how to harm others, they do not know how to help others. His mental influence was that he could not believe that humanity still exists today. He believed that God wouldn't make such a big mistake, so he would give him what he had asked for. He believed that the people at the post office were a bunch of crooks and had stolen 30 pesos.
He had written a letter to god, telling him about his problems and his need for 100 pesos. He gave the letter to the post office. The postmaster was astonished but later became serious about the matter. He respected Lencho's faith in god and decided to help him. He, with the help of others, managed to collect 70 pesos for Lencho and signed the letter by the name of god as he had firm faith in God and the postmaster thought that his belief should not be shaken. He didn't want to crush his child like-faith in god.
