"You know that saying, bad things don't happen to good people? That's a lie"

This quote by Tori Amos is a suggestion that life is not always fair. It is a suggestion that bad things can and do occur to excellent people. It is a reminder that life is unpredictable and that nobody is unsusceptible to suffering. It is a reminder that no matter how hard we attempt to be great, bad things can still happen to us. It is a tip that we should not anticipate life to be easy or to always go our way. It is a suggestion that we ought to not anticipate to be rewarded for our kind deeds or punished for our bad ones. It is a tip that we need to not take life for approved and that we must value the good times when they come. It is a tip that we ought to not be complacent which we need to aim to make the world a better place.
