Pretty broad paint brush here- my son was not an evil person. Another family member, my grandson, was not an evil person. Neither one were drinkers or smokers. Neither used drugs. It is not always the lifestyle that enters in.
Not a paintbrush at all.
More like, I think evil can draw bad things on to you. Not that bad things don’t happen to good people.
I cannot cite a reference but I read a long time ago that cancer was thought to be a shameful disease and afflicted “bad people”, if someone in your family had it, you kept it quiet. Like syphilis or AIDS.
I really thought that people were much more enlightened nowadays. We’d be hard pressed to find anyone on this forum whose lives have not been touched by this disease in some way. A relative or other loved one, it touches everybody, good and bad, indiscriminately.
