Why do nice people suffer?

Answer 1

Since we are not God, we can't know for sure.

However, the Book of Job gives indications as to how to grow through suffering. And suffering is very hard to go through when one is rigid.

Then again, the most rigid people tend to be rigid in religion.

However, since if there is a God, He seems to be able to deal with seven billion people, give or take. Hence, God must be holy flexible.

And that is the highest lesson of Job, that God who is holy and flexible, desires that we humans grow to be like him: holy and flexible.

This is discussed at length in www.inthatdayteachings.com .

However, this message is unpopular. Who wants to be considered religious and rigid?

Hence, this mature message is often deleted by subsequent readers, who might want to stay rigid and religious, and not allow others to consider the possibility of becoming holy and rigid.

Usually, the rigid righteous win the fight of who speaks, so... be happy if you read this before deletion... :)

Answer 2

Nice people may suffer due to unforseen circumstances, the actions of others, or simply bad luck. Being nice does not provide immunity from life's challenges, but it can help in coping and resilience during difficult times. It's important for nice people to prioritize self-care and seek support when needed.
