Dear Diary, What LESSONS do to me?

Some things are beyond our understanding ... when a child is born with AIDS, when a young mother is gunned down in a hold up, when a whole village is wiped out by flood, we are left asking: “Why?” For these things there seem to be no answers. But on a different level – on the “everyday life level” – we can find some clues.

Have you ever noticed that certain things happen to certain people? Louise gets fired about every six months, Frank seems to get sued every year, and Jim gets food poisoning on vacation.Certain things don’t seem to happen to certain people. Jim never gets fired, Louise never goes to court and Frank does not send postcards from hospital.
