This question has been in circulation for eons. Not sure atm how to explain it but probably will post about this at some point. What are your thoughts on this?

I think.. it’s too much of an overgeneralization. Sure, sometimes life throws you a curveball. You cross paths with someone who sucks and they screw you over. You’re born into an unfortunate circumstance or life dumps a terrible event on you unexpectedly.
I gotta say though, from the perspective of someone who goes about their life with the aspiration to be a ‘good person’, most of the bad stuff that has happened to me has come about because I had poor boundaries and poor self-care. You can be a empathetic, compassionate, ethical, dependable etc. person and still not stroll into bad situations and allow yourself to get enmeshed with problematic people.

There is no special reason if we are talking about natural occurrences instead of those inflicted by humans. It is nature taking its course.
And all people are both good and bad. People who are only good are very very rare.
There is extreme evil of course. Those capable of it have better chances of avoiding it. They recognize it in themselves and their evil is shortcut to power. They can manipulate and play outside the rules to achieve safety from evil. Whether that evil is the health industry draining your pocket or working in uranium mines and another three jobs to feed your kids.
Even all of that can be said to be nature taking its course. Humans are selfish. Their ability to love beyond their best interest is cultivated. Their inability to do so can be critical to survival or just misleading fear of death.
We eat each other everyday one way or another.

Being good doesn't mean you are doing everything right way. Being good and stupid are two different things.
If your question is, "If God Exists, Why is there Suffering?"
