Why Me ?

We've always been taught there is a cause behind every effect. No wonder we get so frustrated when things happen without a particular reason (there's always a reason; we just don't see it sometimes). People have invented things to explain the unexplainable. There is good luck, bad luck, and the popular: Karma. Karma not only explains why things happen, it also encourages people to follow the "right path": don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. But what happens when you think you are a good person, you have never done wrong, you believe you deserve the best because that's all that you have given and boom! Something really awful happens. It reminds me of the Simpson's episode in which Ned's house (Ned is the ONLY good person in Springfield, besides of course the priest. Marge is also good I guess...) is the only one destroyed by a hurricane. I'm starting to believe they The Simpsons are inspired in bible stories and characters. There have been a lot of episodes which relate to the bible and the characters have some of the traits of the ones in the bible.
Anyways, Ned bursts in anger to see he is the only harmed when the rest of the people are the ones that deserved the worst, just as Job would after those "natural disasters" harm him. The Simpsons are always making fun of karma. Homer, who would deserve the worst there could possibly be, ends up having his way while Ned, who tries to follow God in every possible way, ends up in uncomfortable situations.
I don't believe in karma, or in good or bad luck. I try to see everything as a good. If something bad happens, I actually get curious and try to find out the reason behind it. Sometimes, the reason is clear from the start. Others, it appears days, months and sometimes years later! But that's the fun part of life, taking advantage of great moments and learning from the difficult ones. After all, everything happens for a reason, doesn't it?
