The people I know that love the Lord seems to be the ones who get hurt the most.
We live in a world wehere bribes are normal and your word does not have to be totally true to get what you want?
Is there any consequences for evil and dshonesty and meaness anymore?

It seem that way because we are under constant attacks from the enemy (the devil), we must be doing something right to piss him off. Others are simply under the devils grip.

First of all, this isn't true at all. Plenty of good people are happy, and plenty of bad people are unhappy. Some good people suffer, some bad people make a lot of money...and perhaps are happy for a while.
People who "love the lord" are typically not very bright, and usually in the lower income classes, and those classes just have a harder time with things like healthcare, early pregnancy, and so on.
Its a cause and effect thing, but you just have it reversed: Low education leads to both religion and difficulty in society.

Nice people believe that "everything happens for aresaon" so even at this moment something appears to be bad and sad it might turn into something fruitfil later on in life. It all depends on out interpretation and patience. Maybe God has somethign better in store for us and we just have to work towards our goals with full dedication and loyality. Do not expext anythign as expectations always lead to dissapointments. If you get something without expecting then it results in happiness but if you expect and then get dissapointed then it results in sadness and grief. So live for today and be nice to everyone (including yourself).

We all reap what we sew if not in this world then in the next for sure. As far as nice people finishing last i guess i will never finish and they say what doesn't kill you will make you stronger well if that's the case i must be super man but sure don't feel like it. God Bless You Always.

Cue the violins. Maybe you just happen to notice the pains more in the people that you know because... ummmm.... you know them! If you only only associate with people who love that figment, than what would you possibly know of others pains and how they hurt.

I hope this will make you feel better, but God says those that are last will be first! =)
Everything is backwards with God. Even though we will abandoned or alone, He is always there. Don't fret.
Take care and God bless!
