In 1981 Rabbi Harold Kushner, wrote a best-selling book entitled “Why Bad Things Happen to Good People.” Back in 1981 I was a mere middle schooler, and this book was most certainly out of my reach academically and not remotely of interest to me. I was more engrossed in Seventeen magazine and Tiger Beat. And I am sorry to say as an adult I still have not read it. However, the title has been quoted frequently over the last 40 years.
Thank you for being so honest about this. It is a huge issue for the Christian Church/faith in particular when it teaches that life is always good for those who do the right things. You spoke truth to a grand untruth. We all go through suffering. It's just life as a human being. Church didn't allow me to be human for too many years.
Thanks for the positive feedback. It has caused so much pain for people who find themselves suffering. Not only are they suffering from the blow life has dealt them they are also feeling bad for somehow not being a good enough Christian.
