The Good Die First

Here is a statistically inaccurate, opinionated, and stereotypical statement. Firstly, we have to consider what is the definition of "good" in this quote. How do you judge a person to whether they are "good" or "bad", since we all do bad things and think bad thoughts at some/many points in time? Is a "good" person one who has done more "good" deeds, that is to say, one who has helped others more, or resisted more temptation? If so, where do you draw the line between "good" and "bad"?
Now, statiscally, who actually counted the order in which good and bad people died? I want to see a pie chart or a line graph or soemthing, please.
The stereotype is in the worldview idea that because bad people are tougher, stronger, and sometimes smarter than good people. But how often is true? Because the smartest bad guys aren't the flashy ones like the Joker in Batman. Their the ones who's crimes can't be discovered. The very fact that we know what our biggest criminals look like and what they've done shows that our biggest crimminals aren't as great as they seem, they can just hide really well. However, considering the size of this world, there's plenty of places to hide. The other stereotype is that good people are naive and softhearted, and therefore they'd die first easy. But let's also consider what God has in store for those who believe in His son's sacrifice, those who are also often considered 'goody-goodies'. Let's also consider what will happen to those who don't. So who's really dying?
