Bad Things / Good People

Next time around, you might want to de-emphasize bad things happening to good people. It causes us to question the extent of your love, and sometimes your very existence. Not sure that's what you intended, but there it is. I have to be honest.

Even if you gave the new race 98% free will (everything except killing/maiming), I'm sure there will be bad people. Save the car accidents and strokes for them. "Ha, ha!" you could say. "Told you to behave, but n-o-o-o-o-o-o, you had to swindle investors out of their hard-earned money." See where I'm going with this? Keep it simple and direct.

Wait a minute! I just remembered a fundamental law of nature: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Maybe that explains why bad things happen to good people. I’m so confused...

  1. Such an obvious way to look at "why bad things happen to good people". It does make sense. So, Dick Cheney.....

    I first misread the free will for "everything except killing/miming". I'm not so sure that wouldn't be apt...
