Life's not fair. Get over it.

I suppose that things happen to all people. Part of being alive is the fact that we have to deal with life. Some days are easy, some days are hard. Sometimes I find myself just trying to get through to the next thing.
As a rule, I don't appreciate what I have until it is gone. People write songs about it, poems about it, plays about it, and novels about it.
One of the great mysteries of life is the fact that what you have today, will be gone tomorrow.
I believe that good things and bad things happen to all people. I guess what makes you a good person or a bad person is how you react to what it is that has happened.
I have not found life to be easy, but, I am not always a nice person.

Yes, this is very true. Good things also happen to good people, just as bad things happens to bad people.

It's true. Bad things do happen to good people, but so do good things. Good things happen to bad people, but so do bad things. Good and bad things happen to everyone.

whether something is good or bad depends on a person's point of view. Any "bad" thing that happens to you can also open your eyes and make you a little wiser. a "bad" person can murder someone else and get life in prison, so i wouldn't say that good things always happen to bad people. I personally believe in karma, and if you're doing hurtful thigns to others on a regular basis then it'll catch up to you. I think your question isn't really specific enough...what exactly are you trying to ask here?

Well sometimes it seems that way...but I know from experience that we learn and grow even from the bad things in life. Much of what may be deemed as bad and unfair is sometimes the results of our sowing bad deeds, or making poor decisions.
Bad people prospering is nothing new, the Bible is full of them, but it also tells us the end result of these people as well. I'd rather learn from my mistakes, and live in Gods grace.
It's kind of like the law of tithing, 10% of our income to our church. It is all about prosperity. If one follows this faithfully and believes God will prosper them, He does. I only did it half way for years, and that is exactly what I got in return, prosperity doesnt come in halves. Now I have learned to trust God with the little I have (much less then I use to have) and unexplainably I have more to help others with then ever before.

Yes it can be true however, good things happen to good people and bad things to bad people too. We live in a world with death, sickness, violence and selfishness. That is why Jesus came to give us life more abundantly even here on the earth when we love and trust Him.

The world is ruled by chance my friend. Some times bad things happen to good people. Learn from it and move on.

It would seem that way. Coming from a Christian standpoint, it seems to me that "bad" people get the good, because the devil gives it to them, as a way to distract them from Christ. The road of Christianity isn't an easy one at all. People will laugh and make fun of you, "disown" you because of your beliefs...and sadly in this day and age, more and more people are steering away from Christianity. So yes and no to you question. Yes "good" things happen to "bad" people, but really it's distracting things happening to people who fail to see the truth. and "good" people have "bad" things happen to them, but in reality it's challenging obstacles to people who do see the truth.
If that made any sense at all lol.
