In response to Kolb's "Why do bad things happen to good people?"
This is a response to Kolb's blog "Why do bad things happen to good people?". In his blog, he states that one of the biggest reasons for this, is the imbalance of bad people and good people; the heavier side of the scale favoring bad people. First, I feel there is almost no way to account for the ratio of bad people to good people. What do we qualify as a bad person? In the blog, there was an example given of a drunk driver killing an innocent boy. To put a twist to the example, what if it was the first time the drunk-driver did drink and drive? Would that change him from a bad person to an unlucky person? Now, to further twist this, how would you explain this bag of bad luck? Say if the drunk driver was a good man. Had a family and loved them very much. All his life he worked hard, went to church, was honest, never caused trouble. But this one unlucky night, he decides to have a couple of drinks and drive, consequently killing a boy. Now, wouldn't this be an example of bad things happening to good people, but in different point of view? This man spends his whole life in jail to pay for his ONE mistake he's ever done. It wasn't the imbalance of bad people and good people. I just think its a product of bad circumstances. Good things happen to good people, and vice-versa. It is just when the bad things happen to good people that we become aware of the situation.
