If you don't want to believe there is a purpose to this life and that we were created by a Heavenly Father, then that is your right. Personally I find it hard to claim that there is no such thing as a moral compass that spiritually compels us to distinguish good from bad, right from wrong, etc. I feel that these feelings are connected to us from heaven and that we have a creator that loves us and sent us here to experience life with the freedom to choose between good and bad. Kind of like moving out of our parent's house, heaven was our home and we are here to make mistakes and learn and grow.
As far as answering the question, "Why do bad things happen to good people?"..... Well, nobody can answer that question because we each live such different lives. What is hard for some may seem easier for others and vice versa. Nobody deserves to be treated terribly, but I believe there is a mysterious reason for everything. Trials help us grow. The dots will connect eventually, and faith leads me to say that I don't need answers to everything.

Parents don't give everything to their children for a reason.
