Why...? (Possible Rant)
6 years ago
Why does this keep happening?
I recently found out that a friend of mine passed on... someone who, based on my experiences, wanted to make people smile with his antics, and succeeded spectacularly. Someone who never let stuff get him down, no matter what happened as a result. He would always bounce back from even the hardest of hardships, always with a grin on his face.
Now he's gone... and while I know what happened to cause his passing, I refuse to say due to the sensitive nature of the situation.
What I want to know is... why?
Why do we always seem to lose the people who want to make this world a better place so soon, and yet the ones thoroughly committed to bringing nothing but misery, fear, hate, and destruction seem to be allowed to live for so long that it feels like they made a deal with Satan himself to do so?
I've lived on this planet for 37 years, and yet I still can't wrap my head around it. Where is the justice in this? There is none. There's no justice in allowing evil to thrive so much while the ones who want to make a positive difference are called back so early. There's no justice in wanting to destroy the world and being allowed to live so long to actually pull it off. There's no justice in heroes having to sacrifice themselves, only for evil to triumph in the long run. There's no justice in trying to make the world a better place, only to be ravaged by all-consuming hate. There's no justice when those who deserve everything either get nothing or lose it all, but those who don't deserve anything end up getting everything they dreamed of.
I know that life is never fair, but this is something that I just can't comprehend. Why does it have to be unfair like this?
Part of me wants to make it just stop. Part of me wants to give up. Part of me wants to just quit and be done with it.
But I won't. Doing that would dishonor his memory and legacy, and I refuse to let that happen. All I can do now is say this:
Rest in peace, my friend. I may not have known you for long, but the time I did is time I'll cherish. May you continue to inspire and make people laugh up in heaven.
