Bad things happen to "good people" all the time....Defending oneself in a life or death situation is one thing, but the evil in todays world seems to be of a much more complex controlling nature and the stripping away of one's freedoms. a continuous slapping in the face, so to speak....This is where strong faith in a higher power is absolutely required to overcome the corruption of this world.
