Why?

A friend of my tonight just told me he found out for sure his mom has cancer. One thing I've struggled with my whole life is why such bad things happen to such good people.

I still don't have an anwer except for that's the way it is. I know us in America have it better than most of the world, but I still don't understand how so much bad can happen, except for the fact of the Ying and the Yang.

I do believe you have to know the bad to know what's good, otherwise things blur and what's where good and bad merge until we're theoretically robots in that everything is the same. That tends to be how I justify the bad things sometimes, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's any easier to stomach. In the words of Lonestar, "I pray for every women, child and man, to find the strength to rise above, to teach each other how to love, to forgive and be forgiven some sweet day...I pray"

I know I don't often enough, but I'm still learning and growning. I'm gonna get there someday...
