Why Do Bad Things Happen To Good People?

          "If you can think of a reason; any reason at all why the universe is so screwed up and random and mean; now would be an amazingly good time to tell me because I really need some answers." This is what Dr. Meredith Grey (Grey's Anatomy) said and I just found it too relatable. Haven't you noticed how all the horrible things just attack at once? How something terrible happens over which we have no control over? How good people are so susceptible to get affected by bad things? How's it even possible? Why does everything is so screwed up and random and mean?

          There is obviously a reason why I'm writing this post. Firstly, I've seen it happen many times to be able to just suffer in silence. Sometimes it's me and at other times my friends. But this time, its just a realisation. All these random things pop out of nowhere and soon its a huge heap of mess. And it's not possible to just get it over with. It takes persistence and patience.

          There might be a lot of work load; presentations, studies and tension. There might be some relationship problems; crushes, affairs and marriage. There might be some unsettling problems with your peer group; professional and personal. There might possibly just be anything that can happen. And you just have to live through it. There's no pause button. There are no options. There are no intermissions in life. I think that it really sucks to have to deal with a number of issues at once. And I know that life is not a vacation. Even I hate these moments of second guessing, being the sensible one, having a final say and taking all the responsibility. But it's just how it is, right? It doesn't matter how much of a good human being I am, some things always go wrong. More often than I imagine. It's tough but it's life.
