Why do the Good Die Young?

This has been the incessant question that has been asked every time  someone dies (especially if that someone is perceived to be a good person).  Is it just coincidence or is this a logical consequence to being good?  God forbid it's the former otherwise the world will be besieged with bad people! 

God works in mysterious ways.  It is not our place to question God in terms of His decision making.  What we need to question is what do we learn from such a loss?  I totally subscribe to the saying, "Things happen for a reason."  Our lives are intertwined and all events provide a ripple effect in the lives of others.  How events affect us is a matter of choice and our choices are affected by the attitude that we have.  As John Maxwell said, "God chooses what we go through; we choose how to go through it."

A good person is someone who has positively touched the lives of many people.  I believe that good people die happy because they know that they have done their part in making this world a better place by imbibing in others the same set of positive attitude and life perspective to create yet another good person.
