text: why do bad things happen to good people & vice versa?   hi, i don't know if you know and accept karma theory. if your being good and things are happening bad to you then just take it as all the consequences of your previous bad deeds are being washed away, and it will make you a better human being. also it gives a nice opportunity to fine tune your self and see if you are really good and correct even the minutest of defects in you. yes i understand what you say, i have been through such feelings, but i am sure in the end, if your good then for sure if you look at a bigger picture, you will definitely realize that whatever is happening is happening for your own good, but that may be a result in the long run. best regards
