I could take this one step further and suggest that (based on my observations) that if you are a "good" person then it's more likely that bad things will happen to you. But the definition of "bad" can be kinda paradoxical, meaning, what we might interpret as "bad" might actually be (in the long run) "good" as Eugenia was saying in her post.

I could talk about this for hours... but keeping it very simple:

I believe that our spirits/souls need perfecting before they can be compatible with the Heaven dimension. So, how better to improve the soul than to actually give it a challenge. It's a bit like a muscle... the only way to strengthen a muscle is for it to exert... to strain against something... to hurt a bit in the process of "excercising". Does a muscle grow strong by being allowed to rest... to recline on a comfy chair? or would it become stronger by joining a boot camp? And what if the person running the boot camp detected a bit of potential in a particular participant? Would they let this person have it easy? or would that person be worked a bit harder then the rest? It would seem understandable that the person who is naturally a bit stronger than the rest be worked a bit harder so that they could maximise their potential.

I consider our lives on Earth a kind of bootcamp for our souls. We are meant to be challenged. It's for our own good. It says in the Bible that God knows our limits and that we have to trust His judgement.... though how on Earth can any mother bear the loss of a child is beyond me (for example)... but at the end of the day i just HAVE to assume that all will be revealed.

I guess it goes without saying that it might seem that "bad" people seem to have it unfairly easy most of the time. It would get up most people's noses if a serial killer won lotto for instance. BUT who knows what's going on between God and/or Satan (who by the way is often described as an "agent" of God) behind the scenes.
