Why do the good die young?

Answer 1

Evil rules the world.
And God is actually testing all of us, and thats the only reason for the early departure of the good ones.

Answer 2

because billy joel said so.....

Come out Virginia, don't let me me wait
You Catholic girls start much too late
But sooner or later it comes down to fate
I might as well be the one
They showed you a statue and told you to pray
They built you a temple and locked you away
But they never told you the price that you pay
For things that you might have done...
Only the good die young
You might have heard I run with a dangerous crowd
We ain't too pretty we ain't too proud
We might be laughing a bit too loud
But that never hurt no one
Come on Virginia show me a sign
Send up a signal I'll throw you the line
The stained-glass curtain you're hiding behind
Never lets in the sun
And only the good die young
You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation
You got a brand new soul
And a cross of gold
But Virginia they didn't give you quite enough information
You didn't count on me
When you were counting on your rosary
They say there's a heaven for those who will wait
Some say it's better but I say it ain't
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
Sinners are much more fun...
And only the good die young
You say your mother told you all that I could give you was a reputation
She never cared for me
But did she ever say a prayer for me?

yeah....good song....only the good die young so live your life to the fullest and take soem chances once in a while! :-)

Answer 3

I guess this depends on what you think is good. As for rock stars that died young is it their talent that made them as good. The drugs that they took or the lives that they led cost them their lives. All of these "good people" probably suffered on the inside not ever knowing the true meaning that was felt by others. A lot of people that die young are afraid of failure, (the leading cause of suicide). So i think all people are afraid of something or other and the ones that do die young are the ones that truly fail.

Answer 4

people die because of fate not because of being good or bad or ur age. all will die only when they are meant to and when god has decided. u cant run away from death who ever u are even if u tried to hide.death will get us all. and the only things we will take are our deedds. we are gona leave our wealth and family all behind. they wont be of any use to us wen we are in our graves.
age has nothin to do with dyin jus take a walk in a grave yard and see the ages of the deceased.
