Why do bad things happen to good people?

whether you are good or not,problems is still there...as long you are alive,youre life will be like a wheel or a car that as long it has a gas it always keep running...don't be upset,its a part of our life...and all of us we're goin to the different instances of life.:;money,heart,mind,people,health,etc...everything... its not the way because God wants us to sacrifice,but to be a strong from our weakness...and all these trials measure us our faith in God and mold us to be a better person than ever...just lift all of your sorrow to God and he wont let you down...just keep in Faith.

Yes...I sure have noticed this...and our family is in the same boat. We are always nice..and try to help everyone else...and we always seem to have problems..with health...money...situations etc...I don't know why this happens either...I keep hoping that one day...these other people will get what they really deserve in life...and they will feel the pain we have felt in our lives....that is what I think....

yes

if u believe on previour karma then i must say this is the effect of that thing only

its all due to karma...everything that happens has a karma behind it...

Everything happened got reasons.Sometimes its hard to know why but along to way you`ll know the answer to all your whys.

I am trying to figure that out myself, so when you find out the answer to that, let me know! Haha. I got fired from my job this past June and up until now, I was not able to find a permanent job. So I understand the whole being in a financial rut. It really sucked on my part that I had car payments to make, but luckily the car company was really understanding and let me slide on several payments or pay like $50 every 2 weeks or whatever I had. My mom agreed that I had gotten dealt a bad hand, and pretty much all my jobs I had got dealt a bad hand, cause I either got fired, laid off, or the manager just sucked so I quit after like 2 months. But I got back on my feet. :) I am going back to school in March to become a vet tech, so hopefully that job will secure some financial ways I've dreamed of.

I sympathize with you! I really do. It makes me sick how so many people who are liars, cheaters and are not nice people can get everything they want and get away with murder. Get this! These friends of my inlaws have a daughter who is SPOILED rotten, doesn't care about anyone's feelings but her own! She doesn't even care about her CHILDREN! Her husband makes a tonne of money, she doesn't work. This has always been the case, and they go away on vacation 3 times a year and they never even toilet trained their kids!! Their kids were trained by nannies while she and her husband were away on vacation (and apparently from what I have heard these nannies just came without meeting them first, they just took the job over)! Wow how convenient. All she does is sit at home and play and WIN contests ALL the time. You wouldn't believe the crap she has won, trips, 2 cars, MONEY! Her mother got into a serious car accident a few years ago and her 2 brothers were caring for the mother but not her!! She couldn't be bothered. I admit, it is getting to me! She is going away on another cruise! Gawd it just makes me sick!! She is NOT a nice person and it never fails, she gets EVERYTHING she wants..will her luck ever run out?? where as I know of a lot of truely nice people, including myself who are struggling with basically so many things!!

My family is in the exact situation you are in right now and it is tough. Sometimes I feel like giving up and I feel really depressed. The only thing I can say is that what ever happens makes you stronger and makes you a better person. I can't say that things will be okay but you will get through the situation that you are going through. You have to be strong and continue being the helpful person you are and you will be blessed for it. Remember God doesn't put us in situations that he knows we cannot handle.

I think that GOD tests the good people and i hope that one day would come that your going to enjoy life ....The fruit which you get slowly will tasty and delcious..

i have ask myself this question many of times.i hate to see ppl stuggle trying to make ends meet.i just figure it wasnt meant to be.an make the best of it.dont give up hope keep trying what gos around comes around.an good things will happen

maybe because God has a better plan for them that would make them a better person that they are now. bad things happen for a reason so as good things.

I would like to say that Things arent always the way they seem.... Read this story... www.spiritual.com.au/articles/stories/astheyseem_uk.htm This story clearly shows that we might not know certain spiritual truths or happenings... We might not know the resaon.,.. But it is definitely for our good.... We could have had real bad karma in last birth becoz of which we have to learn such lessons... But definitely god will protect if you are good in this birth....

the bible says: Blessed are those who are poor they have not recieved their riches yet. look at jesus, he was very poor, but very blessed. I like to think we are suffering in christ, and one day we will get the riches that we are promised. The rich has already recieved their riches, so what do they have to look forward to, perhaps being poor in the afterlife? krissy

I am not sure why this happens but it is my belief that these things are sent to test our strength of character and belief in God. It is good that you still feel you can help people, and believe me one day that kindness will be returned two-fold. Keep faith and things will improve for you, and after all the hardship and trials you will appreciate those wonderful things. :)

Because it's a bad and unfair world, but i think the good people will be awarded at the end

Its destiny..u can't change

its really not true,god is fair to everyone,no one will be plain sailing in all his life,sometimes you have good fortune, and sometimes you have bad ones.

I agree with this... it seems that bad things DO happen to good people. I think that everyone in life experiences a lot of negativity, but when it happens to good people it is more astounding because we dont feel like they deserve to hurt! And its true, they dont. However when a "bad" person suffers something negative I think society deems it as deserved.

I truly wonder the same thing. Why DO bad things happen to good people? It really bothers me....and the ones who struggle are the ones who are looked down upon. Why is that?
