Today's Gospel reading is from Luke 16 ~ the well known story about the poor man Lazarus who died and went to heaven, while the rich man died and landed in the netherworld. Some people have asked why others seem to have everything in this life while they live a hard life. Here is a conjecture. No one is 100% good or 100% bad. Let's say someone is only 10% good, then he's probably reaping his reward for the good part in this life already. Someone 10% bad is probably just being "punished" for the bad in this life. Obviously, the choice to suffer in this life and be rewarded in the next is preferable.
