So I posted this simply to illustrate the point of a random quote I recently came across:

"So you think life isn't fair? Well just think how much worse it would be if life was fair, and all the awful things that happened to us, happened because we actually deserve them. I for one take great comfort in the completely impersonal hostility of the universe." (Anonymous)

Believe me, I do take comfort in the completely impersonal hostility of the universe because I realize that some people are just NUTS!
