Why do bad things keep happening to good people in life?

Karma is a nice idea that everyone gets what they deserve, but it's just plain not reality. There is luck and randomness in the universe and sometimes good thing happen to bad people and bad things happen to good people. Some people get a disproportional amount of one vs. the other and life just isn't always fair. You can try your best to "make your own luck" as they say but too many complicated things beyond your own control happen because the world is too vast to control much of it.

Matthew 5:45

"He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous".

Try to think of life as a novel and everyone in the book is a page. All the pages are woven together to complete a story. Reading 1 page does not explain the whole story. Sometimes you go through hardships for your benefit as that is when growth of character is greatest. Sometimes you go through hardships because it might benefit somebody else in some way. And it's hard times that you need to double down on trusting God's plan for you. He is right there with you in all of it.

Bad things happen to good people because life operates on probability, universal natural laws, and the free will of others, rather than a moral scoreboard. Suffering is a universal reality, and bad luck, illness, or systemic issues can affect anyone, regardless of their moral character.
