How does someone truly know when someone deserves something bad? How does someone truly know when someone deserves something good?

On the 1st day of January 2021 in Davao City, the 60-year-old Raol Mandaget was killed while dancing in the middle of the highway by a motorcycle. The 21-year-old motorcycle rider, Joviemar Caybot, who did not wear a helmet was also killed during the incident.

Did Raol Mandaget deserve it? Did Joviemar Caybot deserve it? How does someone truly know when someone deserves something bad?

If a fat 35-year-old obese died from a heart attack, if a jaywalker is hit by a car, and if a spouse is got caught cheating, do all these people deserve punishment?

Yes, if people did something bad and stupid they deserve punishment. Raol Mandaget deserved it since he did something foolish. Joviemar Caybot also deserved it since he didn’t wear a helmet while driving on the highway.

How does someone truly know when someone deserves something good?

No one does. Even if they solve the world’s biggest problem, considered special or important people, a hardworking person, or simply, a good person doesn’t deserve better treatments in life.

No one is exempted. Not because a person works hard and does good things doesn’t mean they deserve better things in life.

No one deserves special treatment. People who think that they are deserving of good things and not deserving of bad things are the proud beginnings of becoming an entitled individual.

The day all people think that they are worthy of something is the day the world fully turns into chaos. The world doesn’t owe a person who did something good because the really good people don’t ever think that way.
