Spirituality Information - Bad Things Will Always Happen To Good People.
The world is a place where bad things happen to good people. However, it's also a place that is full of joy and care, where loving people help each other out without ever worrying about what should be given or received in return. Whether it's giving someone your umbrella in the pouring rain or sharing a smile with another person on the subway, there are so many opportunities to improve our own lives and see others succeed.
The thing about this life force is that some people may be confused on how to live by it. That feeling of uncertainty becomes widespread when we are faced with ongoing pain and suffering, whether that's in our lives or those of the people close to us. We know that the world isn't always a happy place or even an ideal one. People die too soon, and families break apart. There is constant war and disease at a distance from us, with little regard for our existence.
One thing is certain: Those bad things will always happen to good people . . . but why? In some situations, it's simply fate. The Bible tells us that God works in mysterious ways, meaning we can't always understand his motives behind the things that happen to us.
In other cases, however, there are definite reasons as to why bad things happen to good people . . . and here I'm going to outline the three most common theories that people believe when it comes to the spiritual realm.
1. The Trickster Theory. This theory states that bad things happen to good people because of their own lack of faith and ill-will. People who hold this theory believe that the events in their lives come about because of their own mistakes or lack of belief in God. According to this theory, everything happening to someone else is because of what they did wrong or didn't believe in enough; otherwise, they wouldn't be suffering so much. People who believe in the trickster theory also frequently claim that it's evidence for the existence of an evil force in the world.
2. The Free Will Theory. This is a more modern interpretation of why bad things happen to good people. Free will states that God granted humans the ability to make their own choices and live by them, regardless of whether those choices are good or bad. So you either suffer the consequences of your actions or reap what you've sown (pun intended).
3. The Heavenly Home For Special Souls Theory. This theory is more religious in nature and focuses on our beliefs as we leave this world behind. In this idea, good people are rewarded with an even better life in the new world . . . and bad people are punished to some extent. This theory is similar to the belief that bad things happen to good people because they were ungrateful. The belief is that God doesn't want those souls in his presence.
However, there's a lot more to learn about why some people suffer and others thrive; we should remember that faith, honesty and hard work can help us succeed, but we also need to realize that all of us will die one day and pass into eternity where no one will be able to hurt us anymore – regardless of how much pain is inflicted on our earthly lives.
I'd like to end this article by expressing another key point that I wanted to mention – some people have beliefs that are not logical or realistic. I know there are people who think they will stay young forever, or they'll be able to vanish into thin air if they're ever in a bad situation; however, the truth is that the human mind can't fathom such a thing. Instead of focusing on what we don't know about our existence, we should always try and see past any illusions, and focus on enjoying our life on Earth as much as possible.
