heart help: Why do the good people get sick? - Help.com

Perhaps because disease targets those more susceptible due to their genetic predisposition, health?

Neither is life. But things happen.

well yea life isn’t fair and they are getting old (very old).

I know it isn’t fair for that to happen, but I look at it like this: rapists and murderers usually (hopefully) get locked up, spend years of their lives in jail, and are often killed once they get out (sometimes even while they’re still behind bars). Some of these people grew up in abusive homes and weren’t loved. In fact, people hate them and wish them dead. On the other hand, your grandparents have had long lives and watched their children and grandchildren grow up to be wonderful people, thanks to them. They don’t have the weight of the pain they’ve caused on others to carry. They get treated with love and kindness and will carry that with them after death (if that’s what you believe).

The good people are not necessarily strong to diseases. They can be ethically strong in discipline to others, not for themselves. Are they an altruist? Perhaps.
Getting older is such things. I hope you can have time to remember them well.

“but yet rapist,murderers, and people who are just not good people have great health”

That’s not true, all those people (rapists, murderers, etc.) get sick also, probably just as much as good people do, but it seems we don’t hear about it much. Perhaps because people don’t care enough about the “bad” people to care to mention the aliments they suffer from. But I’m sure alot of them suffer sickness just like good people.

I like how one poster said that things just happen, not because someone deserves it or not (usually due to genetics, but also due to things such as our environment, diet, lack of exercise, lack of preventative measures + health education, etc., etc.)
