My mom always said that the devil doesn't mess with bad people!.!.!.!.he doesn't have to because he's already got them!.
The good people don't have to complain!. They pray!. And they know that no matter what, God will never put more on them than they can handle!. I look at like this: Every bad experience I have is a lesson learned!. It's knowledge gained!. It's one of the ways God make me a stronger, smarter person!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Good people suffer because of the bad things they did in past lives!. Bad actions create a heavy burden on our soul (usually called 'bad Karma')!. That burden is very unpleasant to bear after we die!. So, we take birth again to shed that burden!. It can be shed only by undergoing ourselves whatever harm we inflicted on others in previous lives!.

Eventhough we may be good in this life, we suffer in order to rid ourselves of the burden of our bad actions in previous lives!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

S**t happens - to truly live life you must embrace the good and the bad!.
