But we do not live in such a world, and so, tragedies occur, to the innocent and guilty alike. There is no God, but the dice are rolled just the same, and the croupier counts the spots with emotionless accuracy. Thank you for playing, and please don't think the universe notices or cares, because it does not.
Cliches are cliches because they are true.
That's the core of it. If we want justice, we must wrest it from creation by force. We stumble through life believing the rules do not apply to us. We all think, subconsciously, that somewhere there's an escape clause, down in the fine print. No court of appeal.
