Good things happen to Bad people.
I mean, of course, and vice versa too. Vice versa x 2. You wonder if there is a formula or an equation. Measuring the amounts, the quantities, of bad and good, and good and bad. Our lives the measuring instrument.
You wish that wasn't the case. You wish for a more rational & just world. You wish that people really would "get what they deserve," but, it is hard to deny the reality. Injustice is built in to the human experience. Even as it almost seems like randomness.
On one hand, you accept it: Justice is a hope, a goal, an aspirational notion.
On the other hand, you wish and hope, fight and campaign, organize and demand for more justice for all on a daily basis. That is the work of a civilized society.
It isn't easy. And the battle is never-ending.
And, yes, we all suffer the "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune." Good, Bad, Indifferent. That is just the human reality. Sometimes it's a Comedy, sometimes a Tragedy. We endure with as much grace and dignity we can muster, and try to make it as best we can. Like I always like to say: "Lean to the light."
