Not to be ignorant --but I think it is called Life.
Sometimes there is no answer it is just life.

No, I don't. It's called karma and consequences. My religion teaches that there is no such thing as a perfect person, especially as you get older. Even small things that you do that are against someone else--say shoving on the playground, not putting as much money as you know you should in your office snack fund (cheating the whole office in the process), lying (which EVERYONE does whether they want to admit it or not)--can and should have consequences. Also, I believe in previous lives, and it's all too possible to me that those who were "good" in this life probably weren't so great in the last one and are trying to make up for it. It's all about balance.

The best explanation I've gotten thus far for this one came from a Buddhist: That karma follows from a past life, and though someone may be good in this life, things they have done in a past life may well affect them.
Best explanation, I say. Still not sure if I fully accept it, after the things I've witnessed happening to my significant other.

So that a greater good may come from it.
Premier example: Jesus was crucified...nailed to a cross and speared in the side. He was murdered. A good person? Of course...He was God, the Son. Without sin or reason to kill.
Why did this bad thing happen to him. To bring a greater good out of it. His sacrafice was made to bring us salvation. He paid for the sins of the world.
So, the worst thing that could happen also was the greatest thing that could happen.

No, because man has the evil inclination..and as long as we must live in the 'world'..bad things will happen to 'good people'. ....and who do you say is good?..no man is good. But when we can go through the bad with Yeshua, then we at least have a way to cope with the bad.

Nope. I know that the universe is an assortment of "good" and "bad" events, thus good and bad events happen to good and bad people. Since there is no god, this makes classic sense.
"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?" - Epicurus

just because one is good doesn't make them exempt from the laws of chance that govern us all. bad things have the potential to happen to all people

Because there is no such thing as an accident.
Your misfortune, as sad as it may be, will bring some type of glory to God through your experience of it.
Sometimes you never get to know what that is, but
even tragedy brings forth joy and reverence toyou or to someone else.

Everything we do has an effect on our lives. When something bad happens to us we just gotta learn then move on

There is no such thing as a good person.
Bad thoughts mean bad karma.

Why don't you just read the book that has been out for years and years and years.

It just boils down to fate.
Or luck.
Or lack of luck.
Or being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Or the right place at the wrong time.
etc
