this is probably the hardest thing about spirituality to understand imo, why do bad things happen to good people?

it is very difficult to understand imo, and difficult to accept the answer (my own)...

Gods hand is mysterious and beautiful... i'm sorry that this world of ours contains and always will contain the seeds of sorrow.. people pass on and we hurt when that happens...

but it does and will and will always be that way...

God takes each of us in the way that fits the plan... some suffer, some are healed... we all eventually return to our origination point...

those who suffer are "gifts" (imo) and we who survive become spiritually strengthened... this is also a gift from God..

so we who learn, transcend, are able to minister to those who hurt and help them also transcend... it is an evolutionary process and it is as natural as the rain...

Gods ways are hard to understand, but a plan is unfolding just the same...

this is only a "quick" response to a complicated and worthy question...

others hopefully will balance what i've left out and a fuller picture becomes available...
