Assumptions Behind A Common Question

 Why do bad things happen to good people?????

That question makes three assumptions.

1] We know that something is "bad".

2] We know that a person is good. 

3] That human beings can understand Divine judgment. 

What looks bad could very well be good. 

This person could possibly NOT be so good. 

Hashem's judgment is beyond human comprehension. [See Sefer Iyov].
