Q&A | Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People?


Listen Later

The question on today's podcast is one I have heard a lot and one I've also asked myself if I'm being honest.

It's normal and natural to ask ourselves questions like this, and it doesn't mean that you mean any ill will towards others. It also doesn't mean other people are "bad"; bad things should happen to them instead.

I see this question as an expression of trying to make sense of tragedy or challenges. When looking at outside circumstances, when you see other people living their lives in such a way that puts them in danger or exhibits risky behavior, and nothing ever seems to happen to them, it's normal to feel angry and even self-pity.

As you will hear in this week's episode, I don't have all the answers. However, I know and understand grief and the impact it has on our psyche and lives. This is just one of those questions that are difficult to answer.
