how long will evil people triumph?
4 Replies

Im just confused. How long will evil people triumph? Why do the good die and the evil people get to live? Why is it that rapists, and cold hearted people live, meanwhile good people, who never did…Continue

I wish I knew why bad things happen to the best of people.

I was thinking, my brother was a very good young man. This is a person that was kind, funny and sensitive. He got a woman pregnant and took responsibility. He was looking for work and wanted to be a…Continue

how do you get over guilt?

Sometimes when a person is in your life, you take them for granted and dont appreciate them as much as you should. Now that they moved on to the next life, it is too little, too late to say I'm…Continue

I like this biblical poem

I dont have much faith in god anymore, but I do like this poem. I thought to myself when I see my brother on the other side, we can recite it to each other. It seems a bit romantic of a poem for a…Continue

Profile Information

About Me:
I'm a 22 year old college grad, coping with the loss of my young brother.
About my Loss:
My brother was only 17 years old when he was shot to death by some thug in the street for no reason at all. A friend of his made some people upset, and my brother was killed because of it. He was a bright high school student, who was expecting a child. My niece was born recently. Unlike some people twice his age, he actually wanted to be a father and looked forward to taking responsibility for his action. He had perfect attendance and had plenty of friends and teachers that can vouch for him. He was not involved with gangs or drugs. He was a funny, and smart young man. A much more mature person than I ever gave him credit for. He already went through so much pain, and now this. There are so many negative people in the world that are so much deserving of this fate. My brother did absolutely nothing to deserve this. I admit, we didn't always get along perfectly but I never wanted this to happen. Now I will never have the chance to get closer to him, like I looked forward to before he died.

shantell,what you are feeling is ok.In a world without justice,and with the myth of"karma",where killers frolic in the sun,while thier countless victims lie in graves and urns,it is totally understandable to dream of killing/torturung the killers.I sometimes daydream of what I would do to the killers of my sis and fiace.It can be verry greusome and eveloping.I just try to limit the time i spend dreaming of chopping/gutting them to death,so that it doesnt destroy my whole day.If this was the old west we could ride off together and avenge their deaths.that would be ~dreamy~they deserve to die.,and nothings wrong with u that u feel this way.

Evil has struck and it probably feels like its consumed your whole life; I am so sorry your brother was in its way.  Please know that there is more love in the world than anything else and being evil is a weakness in human nature.  Try to find the strength of the love within you to conquer it and not let it conquer you.  Peace to you and your family.

Hello, Shatel. I am sorry for the loss of your brother. And welcome to the group. I understand how you feel and the feelings of "why". I often think about and ask why did God allow the evil person to kill my husband?. I had lost my father just last year too, but he died of a heart attack, which has natural cause. I soon accepted that God needed him up there. But with my husband's murder. It is a complete different story. People used to tell me that God needed him too, but I still dont agree. I dont think that God told this coward, bastard, person to shot at him and end his life. My husband too, did nothing to deserve this neither did we!. Hope to hear back from you soon. Take Care

Assumptions

An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true.  Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions.  This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More
