I have given up trying to understand the strange and twisted journey of life. I ask this question, if ppl do so much good in this world, why should they die???


When ppl do so much harm, why should they be allowed to polloute this earth???


My friends dad is dying, he is a wonderfull man, iv only met him once, and i could see SOOOO much pontential inside him still, so much strength, so much coulor and vibrancy....................

I no longer understand .

all that lives must die, so that other things may live.

there is this great story in which shiva decides that things must die. In the beginning, nothing died, and everything grew and overpopulated. There wasn't enough space for everyone and everything, and people, animals, plants, the earth suffered because of it.

in his compassion, shiva asked another demigod to help lead people from life into death. shiva realized that in order to continue to create and to grow, some things needed to be let go of, to be destroyed.

Life and Death are not dealt as matters of merit. All things that live must die. They are here for a time, they do what they do, make the mark that they make, create what they create, and then they die. There's no wrong in this.

That people do good or bad is really a matter of ignorance. When people know better, when they suffer less, they do less harm. When people don't know, when they suffer greatly, they do more harm. But what they know, how much they do or don't suffer, and what they do or don't do in response to that has no bearing on death, Death is simply something that is--that happens to all of us.

Life is meant for learning, for joy, and for creative work. Some people never achieve that life in this life's time. Others achieve a great measure of it. To do so is a blessing--and to die knowing so is also a blessing.

There is no wrong or injustice in your friiend's father's death. It is simply his time.

Comfort to you, your friend, his father, and the whole family/community.

I'm sorry to hear about your grief. It's sad. In times when things seem unfair or nonsensical, all I can do is let myself experience the emotion and frustration that comes with it, but eventually try to fine some good in it. Something I learned from the experience, even if that lesson is that now know I'm strong enough to make it through difficult times.

i really like what Zoebird said ...
and i'm sorry to hear about your friend's father, try to be there if you can.

the things you do in life will live after you. for me, that's enough. there are no simple answers.

Sorry to hear about this, ghost. Zoebird's post is very nice, and I like medic99's too. I am not going to try to top what they said, I just want to offer my condolences, and want to say that the corporeal body is finite; love is infinite.
