I do like your take on it... its like the old saying, you've got to have bad days in order to appreciate the good ones ?Riki wrote:The only answer that ever made me feel better was that bad things need to happen for people to mature and change. That might seem cruel, but I don't know what kind of person I would be if I never had to struggle. But I wholly believe I would be worse off internally if I never learned how to overcome hardships.

Death, on the other hand, even at a young age, I don't consider to be a bad thing if it happens to a good person. While the good person's friends and family will, of course, be hurt tremendously, it is a reward to the good person to be taken early to Heaven, and avoid whatever horrible tragedies may have befallen them in life. They will not need to suffer through what a lot of us already have, or will in the future. I believe that early exit through death is a gift from God to the truly good. So, if you're still here, you got some learning to do, Lucy! Including myself... My, I'll probably live forever, haha.
What are your thoughts? Thanks!
