I am going to answer this question, which has been trapped in my mind for the last 2 years. And this is a type of query which requires a good knowledge of social sciences. Still as curiosity I have gained some knowledge in this paradox. So, here I am sharing my research and thoughts on this.
So, what happens when something bad happens to a good person? First of all we think – How can this happen to such a nice person.
But the catch here is, we all are not good people, Not At All.
By setting this perspective to anyone else or by ourselves. The clear vision we have is – we are good and will always be good, we can never do bad at any situation. We give ourselves a ‘Tag’ of good and nice people.
This short phrase makes us superior to all others. I call it mini ‘God Complex’. Don’t you think all those people who are engaged in doing bad to others think the same way.
And the real truth is, we can take advantage of a situation whenever we need (hurting someone).
There are no Good people and Bad people. Everyone is oscillating between the two. But for sure there are the Intelligent and the Idiotic

We are not as good as we all think. And that makes us all humans.
Seeing ourselves good never gives time to take a deep breath and realize this truth. That’s why we never apologize from someone we have done wrong.
Let’s set the scene…
For example, A gentleman who thinks he is all good. And can never do bad in any situation that favors him. After taking advantage of situations which end up hurting others, he thinks I am good. But this time the situation made me do that.
We can change our way of thinking by shifting perspective to the other side. By taking a glance at that person who is now a victim of someone’s bad attitude. He is now good in his and ours thinking. However in future he can also do wrong and take advantage of someone else’s.
The reality is we all are Bad, doing Bad to other Bad ones out there.
