The older I get, the more this seems to be true, the best friends and nicest people seem to die way before their time, while the mean and evil people seem to live for ever.
My Uncle died unexpectedly last week at 61, super nice guy, donated a lot of time and money to help less fortunate people. I never realized how much charity work he did until the funeral, when dozens of people spoke about all that he did for them, or their group, it was very heart warming.
On the day of his funeral, another good friend, super nice guy was backed over and killed by a dump truck on a construction site. Dead at 57, same thing, sang in the choir, give you the shirt off his back, etc.
I googled "why do the good die young" and found some interesting theories. Perhaps the best, at least the best I found, said that God takes the good possibly because they are at the peak of their spirituality, while he gives the bad people more time to repent.
The thought makes me feel a little better, but I find it a little hard to believe that God has anything to do with when you die.
Any way, thanks for listening.
