Why do bad things happen to good people?

So my last post was about two months ago or so. I keep telling my self I need to be more active on here then my work schedule changes on me. Yeah for being an adult. I just want every to know that I am still alive and doing …… all right. I hope every one’s 2017 has been going good. Some time back in September, October, November (sorry I am crap about remembering dates and such things), of 2016 my mom found out she had Brest Cancer. I have not worried or been to freaked out about it until now. I think since she starts chemotherapy next Thursday I am some what freaked out. My step grandmother passed away a little after Christmas of 2015 after going through chemo for a brain tumor, so I think that’s why I am freaked out. I am trying to keep positive thoughts tho. Then at the end of January a manger of mine and her fiancé was in a bad motorcycle wreck when a truck hit them. She was badly injured and her fiancé passed away. So yeah 2017 has had a rough start. Again I am trying to keep nothing but positive thoughts for my mom and my manager. Why do bad things happen to good people?

God Almighty put the good people on test over and over to see how they manage with the help of God. We patiently ask God to help us and give us the strength to bear the consequences. What your mum has is curable and many ladies are having a longer life after the treatment. God bless her to make things easy and for her recovery. Amen.

Bad things as you call them are here to stay. The existence of hospitals says it all. Every bad thing that happens to one affects others not always in a bad way. They start being grateful for what they have.

Bad things always happen to good people. Try to stay positive.

I was told that it means that we are being tested and better things will come our way. When you lived 41 years on this Earth and realize that 35 of those years have been nothing but pain and sorrow, one then realizes there are things that we need to change about ourselves because these are repeated events due to something that we are doing wrong. For instance, maybe we forgive too much and forget what was done against us and keep bending over for the same person 7 years later. What we accept is what will continue to happen. We have to set limits, we have to make ourselves a priority, we have to learn to say no. Bad things happen to good people , because people get very comfortable with getting away with what we allow them to and they do not take us serious.
