Why do bad things happen to good people?

[Twinkz]

Gusto ma feel sa ginoo imong faith sa iyaha og di ba maosab for better or for worse, kong manatili ba ang goodness maski naay mga test...

[emcentricity]

ALL bad things happen to ALL people.

[tophat]

ALL things happen to ALL people..bad or good...same same...hehe

[Sand Man]

obvious man sir, mao naglibog ko kung ngano. i was taught to be good so good things will happen...pero dili man.

Then you must've also believed that Santa comes down the freaking chimney every Christmas eve.

Mao ni nakapait sa atong generation -- our folks plant these silly ideas in our brains when we were kids and never took the time to remove them as we grew up! Sick people...

I'll tell you this, though. When "bad" things happen to you, it's really a test of your integrity. When you start to say something you think you believe, life will come down hard on you to test that belief. The test in integrity is to ensure that you do not sway from your purpose (or what you have dedicated your life to). Faith will help you in this aspect.

In reality, there is actually no "good" and "bad" -- everything that happens to you is just part of life. Think of it this way -- good and bad things are as natural and part of life as day and night. Nobody has ever lived on this Earth and not succumbed to "bad" things, so in essence it's an experience.

I hope I'm making sense.

OnT: following the golden rule is not a guarantee that nothing bad will happen to us. just the same.. the golden rule is worthy life to live.

Agreed. Doing good things bring out positive energy that revitalizes our life and others.

If everything that happens to us are good, then we wouldn't know God at all.
