ASSUMPTIONS IN THE INITIAL QUESTION ASKED

Two assumptions in the question,WHY DO BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE are within the question: one, that 'bad things' exist and that 'good people' exist....and we can compile vast lists of both assumptions which will take 'forever and a day' or all eternity.....an infinite series, that the use of the dictionary and encyclopedia will not cure. The problem of GOOD & EVIL seems in these things a relative consideration when it comes to specific acts and states of being or existence on this level of 'human' consideration....the search for CAUSE rather than effect, the search for reasons, as well as fate/destiny descriptions,etc. Have to dash as the computer is closing.
