Dear author,
Perhaps ask yourself the following questions first:
What is the purpose of the life? Is it too live a “long” life of being “poor, impoverished not bothering anybody else”?
Does every sinful city like Ninvai deserve forewarning before destruction? Ninvai was only forewarned because they were innocently perpetuating evil as the posuk states “they don’t know from their left to their right”.
Do I truly understand or even have the right to declare that I understand the definition of “good people” that I can ask; “Why do bad things happen to good people”.
Do I really believe that “if this would have happened to Nazi Germany, I don’t think anybody would be feeling bad. Same with Communist Russia or the evil Iranian rulers, etcdesctruction” or perhaps I convince myself that nobody would be feeling bad. Apparently the Torah was concerend that we would feel bad for evil doers as the verse sates “lo suches aincha alaiyhem”.
Perhaps change your user name to Emunah Peshuta Yid and all your questions will be answered.
