why is it that bad people get all the luck and good people have none?

Question

I try to be nice to people and treat them with respect dont drink do drugs and work hard. but Ive no money have terrible luck and everyone seems to be out to screw me over. why is this?

Answer 1

I would really love to know that myself. I try to do my best to be a good person and then I see people in my life who are complete scumbags who do a lot of wrong to the people that they claim to care about and then get the upper hand in so many areas of their lives. It forces me to reevaluate my stance on the whole Karma thing because it seems to frequent that the 'nice guys' really do finish last...

Answer 2

There's a quote which goes, "The happiest man isn't the one who has the most, but the one who needs the least!" I try to live my life without craving for things so much. It is very difficult, especially when everything and everyone appears to be working against me. Look at all difficulties as an opportunity to refine your character. I know that's easier said than done, but misery and sorrow are two sides of the same coin. If you can control your mind to treat both joy and pain with the same level of acceptance and equanimity, then you'll be more content with your life. Ultimately, it's all about the state of mind you're in. You can't directly influence what will happen to you, but you can be better prepared for whatever does eventually come your way, good or bad...

Well, did you know that Jeremiah asked the same question. In Jeremiah 12:1-6 take some time out and read the answer. Keep sowing those seeds, harvest will come!!

Answer 4

Ah i ask myself this question all the time. i completely understand where you're coming from. just once i'd like to have some luck or to actually be able to say do you know what i'm happy. unfortunatley i dont know the answer to why maybe we were bad people in past life and are being punished for it now????

Answer 5

Yes , i agree with you. Those who are rich gets richer and only the good die young. I often wonder why so many good people die and the rubbish that attacks them walks away either scott-free and nothing ever happens to them. Take part in competions in magazines, dont send sms's or do them on e.mail send postcards, bright colourful postcards you will have more luck. Good luck to you and don't worry their are loads of us who don't have money to waste. When you look around you , you may see hundreds of people walking around with bags and bags of goodies but they buy on credit, not good at all, remember they have to repay their credit cards. :)))

Answer 6

This is not true. You need to find some nice new friends because the people you are hanging out with now, if they are out to screw you over, are definitely not your friends. Good guys do win, too.

Answer 7

i understand ware u r coming from. i dont have very good luck either and im a good person. but you can look at it this way, people that are good, are blessed with a good heart and thats all you need. thing will come around for you sooner or later. dont worry. you'll get through it.

Answer 8

Many good people don't always take that many risks they just play it safe. That could be a reason why. But which would you rather be good and not much luck or bad an have ''luck'' that isn't cosha ??

Answer 9

Largely we make our own 'luck'
But those who drink, do drugs, don't work, etc eventually reap what they sow.
You do not have to LET people screw you however they try, do you.
(In whatever seense you mean that)

Answer 10

because these people are shallow..you will get rewards in different ways...bad people get luck by being sly and underhanded and do bad things to be rewarded, but they will get their just desserts...they are not genuine...real people like yourself will get luck in time to come, stay positive...stay being nice and ditch the baddies they are not worth your time or effort...
