The similar phrase I'm familiar with is "The good die young." I guess I agree, but I think it's mostly a phrase that was invented to help people deal with the loss of a good person. When a good person dies, it always feels like it's too soon whether they are 5 or 95.

Correction: There is (or maybe it's mine) statement , "good people die earlier". I am sure of it, because I have experienced that with people I know or who are close to me. What do you think about it? You might say that God takes good people, but is that fair? Should I say oh, ok take him/her. What if person doesn't want to die? (who wants to?) What if people who don't want to lose their loved ones? Shouldn't there be an opposite? There are people I know and hate and I think "why not you?". Of course it's unfair and hurts me the most. First, let me say that I know how you feel. My mother died last month from Alzheimers disease. In the last stage, she could not eat, so her death was terrible.

What frigging nonsense. In that case all of the turtles are good souls and all of the horses are bad ones. And it's gotta be extremely evil bastards who lose their own lives to save others'.

"good people dies earlier", also we have this expression in my country but i think it refers to the thought of people about the dead person. One of my cousin died at the age of 23 and people always say this expression about him,yes he was good truely but i think kindness about a person who died early makes this expression. i think this is not true*God takes good people to him* because after that just bad people remained in world and make world full of bad actions, do u think this is true and fair? i don`t think so. no, you shouldn`t say take him/her, God is who takes our life and dead,All mighty,All knowing. and this is not true to say why not your turn! I think this regards to God when someone dies, we should not interfere to this matter. Just be patient in difficulties and stresses! The Life Is A Dream....enjoy your short dream.

Somebody whom you don't like is also someone's parent, or child, or spouse, or friend... But when you lose your close it's painful and always seems unfair.
