life isn't fair (Faust)

“Life isn’t fair. We know some people who have done some very bad things, and yet they seem to have everything they want or need.” Dr. Arthur Wentworth Hewitt suggested some reasons why the good suffer as well as the wicked: “First: I don’t know. Second: We may not be as innocent as we think. Third: … I believe it is because He loves us so much more than He loves our happiness. How so? Well, if on a basis of strict personal return here and now, all the good were always happy and all the bad suffered disaster (instead of often quite the reverse), this would be the most subtle damnation of character imaginable.” 1 -Where Do I Make My Stand? -President James E. Faust, November 2004 Ensign
