Sometimes bad things happens to some good people. Why does it happens? Why good things does not happens always to good people?

We, good people, need a challenge. Also part of why we're good is because we help people. If everything good happened, when would we need to help people?

I'm not really sure other than it is a learning experience for us. What doesn't kill us, only makes us stronger asnd more knowledgeable.

Because it wouldn't be as funny if they happened to the bad people grrrr Just joking but the fact is that it appears to be so more often than not. We often experience or witness good people having such hardship while the really bad people seem to go free of consequences. I like to think that they won't, but the truth is I don't see those consequences for them grrrrr

It's hard to explain the laws of nature. Good people are tested from time to time. Maybe because they are good, strong and grounded. It might be fun to see them break out,crying in the floor to show some weakness. I see some good people in my life that was bombarded with problems. I wonder where is the fairness in this world? I wish i knew.

It is very difficult to give a proper answer to this discussion.I think good and bad thing is happening to all people.Some mysterious force is controlling all our day to day activities and our life is moving according to it.We can call these force as God.

This is a good discussion but I am sure there no one has the answer. I'd like to think of life is a cycle, and good and bad things happen to different people, no matter if they are good or bad. I guess we just all have a chance to hit by bad things so that we realize how good the good things are.
