I've been thinking about the old questions - "Why do bad things happen to good people?

Well here's my take, having a (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) ton of bad things happen to me in my lifetime.

Bad things happen to good people not because the world is fair—it isn't easy—but because they can take it. They get thrown into the fire, twisted by pain, loss, betrayal, and instead of breaking, they’re reforged.

Bad people hit the same trials and it only makes them worse—bitter, cruel, brutal, hurting others to fill the void. Good people? We take the hits, learn, adapt, and come out sharper, steadier, harder. That’s why some survive (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) and others burn in it.

My two cents for what its worth.


Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure

Great insights. Everyone has trials. It is how we choose to respond to our trials that matters. Some go down in flames wallowing in victimhood. Others outrun the flames and come out stronger and more successful.


United we stand.
