    Default Why do all the good ones die earlier?

    I went back to the nursing home to volunteer again, and I looked through the list of residents. There are only about 1/4 of the people left when I worked there 2 years ago. I'm glad that they're in a better place, but I still miss them. They were such wonderful people. However, there is one resident who, due to her medical condition, should have died two years ago. However, she's still alive and kicking and being absolutely nasty to everybody. She's manipulative and crafty. She slapped me and scratched me with her long, filthy nails a couple times, acting all cute and innocent and senile when I reported her to the nurse. She tries to get people fired all the time, targeting people who have shown her kindness. The more you give, the more she will try to take. She has 5 kids, and only one will visit her even though he admits that she is a horrible person. She is downright abusive. Her tests show that she doesn't have Alzheimer's or dementia, and her actions with the innocent look afterwards prove that she knows what she's doing.

    Seriously, why do the good ones die earlier?

    My ex's maternal grandparents were the sweetest people in the world. His grandma wore traditional German clothing and would insist on feeding you at all times. His grandpa also wore traditional clothing, and was wonderfully hospitable. They died when my ex was young. His grandfather died first, and his grandmother died 2 weeks later. They were both in declining condition, but she lost her will to live once he passed. They really loved each other. It's a sad but sweet story.

    His paternal grandmother, on the other hand, should have had a broomstick instead of a Ford. She was an evil, nasty, nitpicky, mother-in-law-from-hell type. My ex's mom even admitted to doing a little dance when she died. However, she lived until her mid-nineties, which was a few years ago.

    It's sad but true: the good ones die young. I have two theories:
    1) Neither heaven nor hell wants the mean ones.
    2) Being angry keeps you occupied. The sweet ones in the nursing homes were the ones who just lay down or slept or watched TV all day, which will cause you to decline. The nasty ones are busy making everybody miserable.

    dude, you are so right.
    My gramma, my most favorite person in the world, died when she was only 62 from colon cancer. I was 9 years old, and I still miss her.

    Her mother was the meanest old woman ever, She actualy used to yell at us for pooping in her house and told us to go across the street in the woods cause she didn't want us t stink up her house. She was just old and mean.
    She lived to be 98 years old.


    But on the other hand, my other grama is 99 now, and she's nice and still alive and she's actually in good shape for 99. Still gets around and has her mind, although she has colon cancer now to

    This reminded me of something my sister said that was a really good point and is also a point on this. My dad has been sick with liver disease and congestive heart failure for over 10 years. When the doctors diagnosed him they said he wouldn't live another year. Well, he is still alive but looks like a walking dead person. The point is he was a really mean person back in his healthy days, he treated people like crap. So what my sister said one day was "I think dad is still alive because he is getting his karma for what he has done and he is suffering" I feel bad because he has changed now, he isn't that mean person anymore but that was a great point she made. So maybe that is why that woman is still alive as well. She is getting her karma from being evil. The good people end their suffering and go so it makes sense.

    I think people who are happier with their lives dont feel so uncomfortable about checking out.
    I think with some of the miserable bastards its a combination of things.
    a) They are possibly worried that they have been nasty to so many people and when they die maybe they will go to hell, so they hold on for as long as they can to put off the inevitable.
    b) They enjoy making other peoples lives miserable or are so used to it that they wont let go or forget to.
    c) Their behaviou is really a reflection on other areas of their lives which have remained unresolved. God, the universe or whatever is giving them maximum time in the hope that one day things will click for them and they will be able to have closure and pass peacefully on to the next life / world.

    ^ Wise words.

    I have seen many examples of miserable shits living way too long.

    Not all youthful deaths are angels, though- a guy (jerk) I worked with 10 years ago has inoperable cancer..... I saw a picture of him now & he doesn't have the same mean, vacant look he did back then. Of course, he found out about it when he was newly married & with a son on the way.

    Hmm.

    I had an aunt who everyone used to say was "too mean to die." Eventually she did, but it took long enough.

    OH God, I shoud not post this but this woman's family readily admits how hateful and mean she was.....She was impossible to live with and used up all the good grace of husband (who was loved by everyone, BTW.) (Think James Garner & Ellen Burstyn in "The Divine Secrets Of The Ya-Ya Sisterhood")

    But she died alone and unhappy in her mid-sixties after her husband died...She took to drinking heavily and that's what killed her. So her meanness caught up to her pretty fast.

    This thread made me think of her, & then her daughter-in-law just made me laugh by pulling a microwave out of storage that this woman had filthied in a drunken stupor of cooking for one- she exploded some beans in the microwave and never cleaned it up....So the burned beans have been in there for 4 years (since she died.) Mean people even leave crummy shitty legacies of thoughtlessness. Bahahahahah!

    Why am I reminded of Voldemort?

    "Some say he died. Codswallop, in my opinion. Dunno if he had enough human left in him to die."

    Gah, I'm scared that some of these people have made horcruxes or phylacteries.

    Yeah, my mom used to remark on this. Her reasoning is that total assholes dump all over everyone else. Which is kind of therapeutic in a a sick way for them...they don't keep things cooped up inside and get a "high" from bullying others. Conversely, the sweet-as-pie ones/doormats build up so much stress from holding things in that it takes its toll.

    Those people are miserable unless they are sociopathic. So they get momentary relief from attacking others but the self-hatred/jealousy just comes back. I could see the doormats declining from holding in the pain. But thankfully most people wise up and move on before the assholes get 'em down!
