Only the good die young!

So at the funeral pyre, the crowd sobbed at the passing of a likable 53 year old lady who succumbed to the devastating effects of the malignant crab of an organ which held the seeds of life (not death).
The family members and friends have been prepared and even relieved to see her go. Seeing her organs fail one by one to be supported by modern science and pain (oh, the pain)... Death was the saving grace. After stopping all medical interventions and returning home to the comfort of the familiar company of her family members and family home, in the echoing chants of prayers, she breath her last breath.
One relative who was perplexed by the turns of events confided why she should just whither away so soon, being a seemingly kind lovable religious vegetarian and all, at an age where she should be enjoying the fruits of her life struggle. She finally came to terms that this was one of those unexplainable things in life that nobody could decipher. The only thing she could do was to do good, pray hard, do the necessary medical tests and hope for the best!
....The evil minded devil's advocate in FG got him thinking...
Maybe, the dearly departed was so lovable that even God wanted to have her close by his side! If not, why do you see so many seeming evil man and evil women still roaming the world? Would not a bolt of lightning just strike at the right spot to jolt them into place? People who allegedly had great disservice and atrocity to humanity, should they not be eliminated early to maintain peace, law, order and sanity on Earth?
Chin Peng, who is griped strongly by a big group of the people in this nation lived to a ripe age of 89. There are even some plotting devious plans of dominance and ill intent against his enemies at this late twilight of age. So, my friend, this adage of doing good to live longer does not hold water. On the contrary, only the good die young. Furthermore, living on Earth is supposed to be the punishment of the soul in the cycle of karma!
When you pray, are you communicating with a bigger Being who would change the course of your life after taking pity on your plight of getting fed up with your constant harassment? Is it not just a monologue or a self pacification to give encouragement to counter the daily challenges of life?
The more you think of things like these, the more confused you would be. People with limited knowledge probably with vested interest would tell you this and that attempting to cow you into submission with talks propagating siege scenario. So, the best thing for me to do is to run and clear my mind..... 42 here I come...
Only the good die young, so be a bad*ss!
