Gandhi, MLK, Ceasar Augustus. So perhaps there are reasons undesirables exist. (To help us appreciate life before and after them?) Caligula, Attila the Hun, Hitler.
Points to ponder, as they say.
How would you know what is good, if there were no bad? How would you know that you are happy if you were never sad? Almost sounds like a bad country song, lol. I had a very close death in my family at a very young age, so I am very realistic when it comes to the concept of my own death.

If you continue on the metaphysics theory, you actually choose your life, as a means of learning what you need to learn, so it explains a lot of the misery in the world, and puts your suffering a little more into perspective. Of course the choice to learn is always yours, so if you avoid the lesson, you miss out. Very interesting stuff,
