You have to think of your life as a continuance into eternity. Even if somebody lives 120 years of privilege, wealth, and the ability to abuse people, they will stop at the end of their life or Judgement and it stops for them. While those who suffer on earth, even if they live 120 years, they will get that life that God intended for them for eternity.

Yeah, my logical, spiritual self knows and understands all that. But my human, unceasingly impatient self (it’s a character flaw) still rages inwardly against what I’m seeing... and I’ve noted that over the last decade or two, it has gotten increasingly worse re: the evil ‘getting away with it’.
Then, when ... instead of it just being about worldly or political issues... it hits home re: someone I actually know personally... it all becomes only too real. Feeling helpless to change any of it, all I (we) can do is pray. And I do. But inside I know nothing will change for the better in this world (quite the contrary) until Jesus returns. I have to work on becoming more patient, I guess. But how to do that is the problem.
