Why do bad things happen to good people.??? This is the question we always asks when we watch the evening news, or just by simply observing our community, and life. But first, is there really a "Good" person? cause if there is, then why all of us are not? I mean, if we know good...then we should be good..cause being good will make this world..a nice and a better place isn't it.? We should accept the fact that there is no Good in this world. All of us sinned. Do you believe in Justice...?? Me, i do. If your bag was stolen and you saw the man who stole your bag, you wanna punish him, you wanna put him in jail. If someone killed you love one, you wanna put him in prison, or a death sentence maybe. But why is it that when your girlfriend stole something on a convenient store, for you its ok..?? or when your father robbed or snatched a bag, you wanna cover him up.?? is it because you love them?? where is justice..?? We are created by God equally. ( of course not physically, as you can see) There are things that i can do, which you cant do, and there are things that YOU can do which i cant. I believe that EVERY PROBLEM IS AN OPPORTUNITY. hen i was about taking our board exam, i was confident and I am ready to face the exam. I prayed to God to bless me, and give me the wisdom for the exam. But after 2 months of waiting for the results, I FAILED. Yeah it hurts, A LOT! because this exam will determine my future. i had a lot of questions in my heart and mind, and to God. Why did i failed? i did my best! i studied so hard! then..Why is it that he passed the exam?? while he just go out and drink, go on parties and didn't study but still he PASSED!!!??Why!!!! It took me couple of weeks to overcame my failure. Until i realized that maybe Has something for me. He is saying something to me. And my questions before were answered with a lot of questions. I compared myself to others before, then i failed coz God wants me to be on myself and make me strong. AND I FAILED, TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY, AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN MORE. If i passed the exams, will i still go on and study.?? etc... So. why do good things happen to bad people.??? BECAUSE GOD LOVES US.. all of us are bad.. Why is it that drug pushers are rich while those working fair is still crumbling to have a minimum wage.?? well...you don't know the future of those drug pushers.. God has a plan in each of us. Just always remember Every problem is an opportunity, an opportunity to LOVE, To be happy, TO LEARN, and TO SEEK GOD. Godbless you.. I hope that this will serve as a little inspiration to all the readers. Just have faith...God is there for you...He is just waiting for your call...

Life is full of surprises. Maybe we can't understand why a certain thing is happening to us but God has His own reasons and He knows very well what He is doing. Maybe in His time we will understand it and thanked Him because it happened.

Hi, Short-Term "YES". Long-Term "No". It may be quite puzzling to see these unusuals around us.apparently it will look that VALUES are having 'No Meaning'.Power/selfishness/crime only Rules.Honesty/Integrity/trust etc are all words reserved for Books. But,In longterm TESTs Negatives fail & Positives Win,always! =Lahiri,Kolkata,India.

Well its not so that bad things cannot happen to bad people, but what I feel nothing, be it good or bad, can make them feel bad...As they dont think much about anything... That was what I felt thats it...
