Only good people seem to leave us early

[UndertheOcean]

It's always the John Lennons , the Malcom Xs , MLKs , Joplins , Ghandis...etc. They all leave us early while the cruel and insensitive people live to an old ripe age.

Despite all the sacrifices of the freedom fighters in the Spanish Civil war , the Fascists won , they always win , despite appearances to the contrary . They always win before rotting from inside, and leaving the corpse for our children.

2. Yeah what's that saying the meaner and

nastier you are the longer "god" lets you live?

3. True, but the evil ones serve a purpose.

They teach us what to hate. As we evolve, maybe we'll learn to kill them off early before they can breed. Natural selection is a good thing.

4. The same unreadiness to face their creator makes them cowards

in action and makes them cling to life.

5. Although he was assassinated, Gandhi was 78 at the time (nt)

6. Not always, though it sometimes seems so.

Joe McCarthy died at 48.

Hitler, Mussolini and some other Nazi and Fascist leaders died fairly young (mostly violently).

By contrast, Nelson Mandela is nearly 90, and Desmond Tutu in his late 70s.
