Did something bad happen to you? I'm sorry.
Why did it happen? Why you?
Sometimes there is a reason. X leads to Y.
But what if most of the time there is no specific reason?
So when we try to find someone or something to blame, aren't we just trying find "a powerful way to avoid feeling victimized by the randomness of the universe"?
(Quote is from Thomas Levenson)
So next time, I blame someone or something for an unfavorable outcome, I will try to think of billions and trillions of tiny little hands dispersed in the universe, rolling some dice.
Shit happens.
