Nature is not always benign, and people can be cruel and nasty. If we caused no suffering during our lives, people would still suffer from droughts, floods, spoiled food and any number of things that can happen. Bad things happen, and they can happen to anyone.
Consider that when some bad things happen to people, others step in to help. We may be very good at relieving suffering, but we can all be very careless about causing it. The man or woman who hits a pedestrian isn't thinking if the person is good or bad.
Viruses do not know or care if a person is good or bad. The hurricane, the earthquake and the tornado don't think at all, either. So bad things do happen. As Jews, we hope that there is a plan of which all these things are parts. We trust that Hashem knows what is happening to us, and we just keep on living and fighting to live, no matter what happens to us.
