Why do good people die young?

[fujiyama]

A few days ago, a family friend of mine died. It was so sudden (sounds like it was a congenital problem) and he was just 19. I didn't know him too well (mainly knew him when he was much younger) but he seemed to have this incredibly bright future ahead of him. Apparently he was supposed to be coming from college to visit...

Sucks. Just f'ing sucks.

1. So sorry for the loss of your friend.

That's a really tough question to answer but it helps to remember that none of us is guaranteed even a single day let alone a span of years. I know it doesn't always help the sorrow in the midst of a tragic loss but it does help when in the midst of living day to day and making life's little decisions sometimes.

Many condolences to his family and friends. :hug:

2. I am also sorry for your loss.

..I have thought about this for many years..No real answer.sorry.
....An interesting view on this idea, and suffering in general...Kirshner ..."Why Bad Things Happen to Good People" may help with the idea of suffering, and this issue.....solar.
