Why is it that the good ones die first?

Question

I don't know why but from experience all of the greatest people I have ever known have passed away and I feel like all the greatest ppl are taken away from us so fast. what do u think?

Answer 1

I love this question, as I've had cause to ask it myself many times over the decades. I was blessed with some really extraordinary friends, family, and loved ones, and I've lived long enough to lose the best among them, and be left with a herd of undesirables in outcome. Most beloved among these angels was a very wise great-grandfather, who broke out in tears one day because he was frustrated by the knowledge that he would pass away before I was old enough to properly interpret the meanings of his messages of love, faith and self-respect. His solution was to make me remember his words by rote, and to make me promise that I'd re-examine those words at various later stages of my life. I did as he asked, and in doing so, I could actually see the milestones I was achieving in my own maturation, independent identity, and perceptions of the times. At each stage even unto this day, the meaning of my beloved "Adawehe's" words take on different depths and connotations at each new crossroad.
It takes a lot of strength, endurance, and undying optimism, to be a "good" person. Good people are too often walked on, or taken for granted, by the very same people they want to love and be loved by. Good people very often are the first to be approached with a need, and the last to be rewarded with thank yous or restitution. Your conviction has to be stronger than hope, more enduring than faith. Even stronger than life itself.
I can promise you that the angels you had in your life would agree with me whole-heartedly when I assert that they'd like YOU to be an angel in turn for someone who needs you, and the very best contenders for the next angels are those who ask the same questions you are now. Time to step up to the plate. (smile). Finally, the greatest gift you can give to your angels is the immortality your reverence of them grants, and to smile, not cry, when you do remember them.

Answer 3

i agree. it makes the world seem just a tad meaningless. the ones who deserve to live don't, and the ones who don't...well, karma just doesn't come as quick i guess.

another way to think of it is looking at it from a positive perspective. maybe something like this happening around us can in fact become a challenge for us. even though we will all eventually pass away, realizing that life can actually be quite short sometimes makes us more motivated to achieve a successful and 'meaningful' life.

Answer 4

Not sure who you have in mind. I suspect that it's a matter of perception over fact. Those we admire are missed more deeply. As a result we believe they were taken too soon. In truth, whether they passed away at 30 or 90 it would be perceived as too soon.
