Why Do Bad Things Happen?

As chaplain, I get this question a lot.

To be honest, I don’t have a good answer. Almost everyone I read doesn’t have a good answer either.

We have ideas…
We have thoughts…
We can speculate…

but we don’t have an answer.

The best we can do is work toward a solution.

If all of us worked toward building compassion in our hearts and to think about people other than ourselves – maybe…

just maybe…

we wouldn’t have to ask that question again.
