Something bad is going to happen to all of us. Some might have it worse than others but we are all going to go through something terrible. A tornado wrecked your home or a serious illness took down someone you love. One way to get over the pitfalls of lives is just to love them and accept them. If life gives you a tough thing to handle, it's because you're strong enough to handle it. Otherwise, who else do you want this unfortunate situation to happen to? The answer should be no one else, and just realize that it is your turn.

Someone that wishes that this event happened to someone else is not being a good person and is having a victim’s mindset. Both traits won’t resolve the issue any faster and won’t help the person grow to their full potential because they’re trying to avoid responsibility. Don’t run from responsibility, embrace it.
