Probably not good to get me going on this subject when I'm in kind of a
down, grumpy mood.

I think the reason we want to believe platitudes like these, mentally they
protect us from evil.

Yes bad things happen to good people. But if we can pretend they do not, we
are safe from the boogey man. It lets us believe we control the
uncontrollable.

For the most part it is a harmless fantasy. Whatever gets you through the
night and all of that.

Unless you happen to join the ranks of those to whom bad things happen for
no apparent reason. And you find yourself being ostracized by society.
Cause deep down we are afraid of those bad things happen to. If they are
just like us, no one is safe.
