Why do mainly good people suffer while the evil ones have better lives?

It is not the matter of being good or evil. That is dependent on the perspective through which you see any person.

What matters is, whether you are clever in your life or not. Not smart, but clever.

Essentially, we live in a man-made forest that is many more times unforgiving, vicious, and betraying than the natural forest. Hence we need to be clever and adaptive, constantly.👍

Because all it takes for evil people to win is for good people to do NOTHING!

Thank you for MHG!

Because there is no underlying force or being acting in the universe to help us, at all. But at the same time, it's a comfort to know that there is also nothing out there that is acting against us either. So all the suffering is just from people and life, and people are wicked and life sucks. There's no profundity to life, no ultimate meaning. Just live the best you can.

I think God gives them a good life to live on this earth because he knows they are not going to heaven later, so they can live their best lives now but will be miserable for eternity after in hell. While those who are miserable or don't live great lives in this life will be well in heaven for eternity.

Of course, this doesn't apply to all bad people or good people. Some bad people may live garbage lives and some good people can have great lives.

You don't think evil people suffer? EVERYBODY suffers. It is envious and ignorant to believe anybody has it better then you. However, it may be common for rich folks to be considerably evil because you know one's heart after giving him power. But now, I'd argue that common-folk tend to be a bit evil due to enviromental factors and the swaying of idols. Anyway, if you are truly good, you shall lead a life that is infinitely better then the villain's life.

Because they are emotionless and can do anything to achieve what they want and can even hurt people who get in their way. Whereas good people sacrifice a lot.

[AndrésC64]

I don't think that that is necessarily true, but it certainly seems that way sometimes. And it's certainly not a good look if people are expecting me to believe that God actually exists. You know, justice and all?

[UnknownSwede]

Because you often have to sacrifice things (sometimes people) to gain success.

So people who are prepared to do whatever it takes will reach success with things, unfortunately.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

That's a myth. Mostly all sufferings come from our own doing and actions.

People who try to live a decent life tend to have peace and joy in their lives.

People who do evil ish, evil tends to follow them in all sorts of manners.

[genericname85]

well good and evil are highly subjective concepts. opinions basically that are hardly any good to measure any real life outcomes.

[Charlesbrandonf]

@Babygirl_S can you please help me understand what is good and what is bad?

[art84]

My neighbor next door gets away with drinking everyday and nothing happens to him. He's living his life now and seems happy.

[KostasKouvalis]

That's actually kind of true, and I have no answer. The universe works in weird ways

[User3191989]

Cults tend to prop them up. Just look at trump

[BLP11520]

That has bothered me my entire life. I do not have the answer to that. If I did it would be a small book.

[TallAnon]

Measuring how much someone suffers is quite hard, people don't become evil without reason.

[Havthrills]

Great question.

[Kelly6]

Kindness is almost gone.

[Charlesbrandonf]

I did not understand honestly. How is it gone?

[Zolly99999]

It's so try and it pisses me off...
