Question of the Day: Day 75

Why do you think that bad things sometimes happen to good people?

I think bad things happen to good pople because it is part of life and also because some people can't be like that so they want to do any thing they can to make the other person feel bad.

Have you got three hours to talk about this with me?

The answer I would give is too long to put here.

I will only be able to say that one of the things which has formed my world-view and understanding of life is from the lyrics of a song by the English musical group "YES" who said in their song "Yours Is No Disgrace"... "On a sailing ship to nowhere, leaving anyplace, if the summer change to winter, yours is no disgrace."

We only have today, yesterday is gone and tomorrow is just a dream. We only have ourselves, the rest is just window-dressing. Bad things can happen to teach us a new direction to head, they can be blessings in disguise or they can be tragedies which have no visible explanation. Truth is that there is little difference between the man with millions of dollars and the bum in the shelter.

What is important is how we see ourselves and how responsibly we act towards others in all situations. The rest is not really that important.

Will Rogers said it best, "Tough times don't last, tough people do."

Bad things happen to everyone, not just good people because we all learn from those bad things. After all, how would you learn to pick yourself back up and dust yourself off if you didn't fall first?

I think that THINGS happen to people. And the "good" or the "ad" is in the perspective of the individuals that are involved.

Pmr person might win the Lotto and think that were very lucky in a good way until their family all started fighting over the money.

Another person might have a car accident and lose use of their legs and, instead of feeling sorry for themselves and caling it bad luck they may go on to do incredible things that they didn't even know they could do.

So I think it is all about perception and not luck at all.
