stories like these teach us to never  be too attached to anything in this life, it reminds us that all we strive everyday to amass ourselves with can be taken away in an instant and also will be left behind when we leave this earth. It also reminds us of what truly is important, the way we treat eachother. Life is not fair, not even to the most altruistic of us...bad things as well as good things can happen indiscriminately to anyone.
