Everything will be ok

So I talked to one of my best friends back in my home country today, and she seemed a bit down, which automatically affected me. She's dealing with a lot of situations back home; a lot of people are getting involved in her private affairs, and judging her based on it. It hurts me to hear her hurt, because she is such a wonderful person. I always wondered why people are put through such hurt. In a sense I believe that God puts us through these trials so that we can get closer to him. There must be a reason for everything right? But all I know, is that i will pray for her, and I know she will get through it, because she is strong, if she went through bad stuff in the past she can go through this now and will be rewarded for her pain.
I do believe there is a purpose for us living here temporarily here on earth, but sometimes i wonder why is it so hard to deal with people or situations. I mean everyone is entitled to their own views and opinions, but some push it to the limit you know. So why can't everyone see the good in each other. I think they put a mental block to things because they see the world through a stereotypical point of view. This is clearly revealed with what's going on in my friend's life at present, and I wish I as an individual can do something to change the minds of all those who persecute her. But I know there will be a time for everything, and they may be happy and joyful in laughing at her pain, but sooner or later they will not be so happy anymore. Seasons come and Seasons go right?
