question

[aggie49]

why is it that good people suffer and the bad people have it so good i feel it should be the other way around and no i do not wish any one harm but i do know it is wrong that the good suffer and the bad do not

Honestly I wish I could answer you.  I agree 100% with you.  It seems like some people never have anything bad happen to them, and other people things happen all the time,  I don't (like you said) want anything bad to happen to anyone, but sometimes it just doesn't seem fair.

Time and unforseen occurrence befalls everyone.Wrong place wrong time.Right place right time.NO such thing as fate.

A suicide bomber blows himself up and kills 10 people.You trying to tell me that was a good thing that happened to him?

We reap also what we sow.All of creation suffers to a degree cos we all have to grow old and die.

Riches,fame all vanity said Solomon!You can gain the whole world and not save your soul.Back to sq 1!!

For me it is hard to label people as good and bad which make it even more difficult to see one having virtue over the other. We are only given what we can handle and testing us makes us stronger. In the scenario that you described the people being challenged could actually be the ones that are being rewarded with a stronger tolerance. People deemed bad may be just products of gluttony and no appreciation for what they were given. We tend to lose appreciation for things that have come to us easily. I am constantly pushing myself and reward myself every ten to twelve weeks with a full day of slacking followed by a great night's sleep. Anything longer and I begin to think that I am worthy of a more slothful life which is far from the truth.

I know what you mean, sometime we that try to be good, just don't have the luck of others that aren't that good or worse.

The bad like to perceive they have it good, not all bad have it good. They have their demons I am sure. They just like to make everyone think otherwise. Everyone gets what they deserve,...the Universe and God knows all! What you put into this Universe, is what you get back. Have you ever seen The Secret?? It's an awesome tool and highly recommend watching it.

Only the good die young, like Billy Joel said! Life isn't always fair and it does appear good guys finish last. You have to focus on good things- positive things. Hang in there!

That is a very good questions and I wish I had an answer to it, but I have always asked the same thing, bad things happened to good people all the time, and the bad people don't care what it is.

You know it always seems that way but you must remember the grass is not always greener on the other side!!!

[alarisracing]

Seem like it would be the other way around.  Not fair how lazy people get everything.  People that try hard daily they get little to nothing.

Just because a person looks like they have it good, you don't know. They just aren't making their issues know.

[stretch1967]

I can't answer that.

god is the final judge who's good and bad ones who believe in him will be rewarded.

In this system of things that we live under, it it Satan the Devil and not our Almighty God Jehovah who rules. 

The Bible book of 1 John 5:19 says that "the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one."

As such, we see much more injustice than justice. 

The Good News is that it will not always be this way.  The comfort from the Scriptures reassures us that very soon now, things will change for the better and Satan will be cast out.
