Warped Universe

From what I can see, the universe tends to have a pretty warped sense of humour. For example, I know someone who's income was sliced in half due to company accounting issues this month, and, of course, she ended up with a plumbing issue post-rainstorm that's going to cost around $1500 in addition to the child that got sick and ended up in the hospital last week, in addition to the $5K bill that showed up from her attorney. Warped.

Everyone has their own theory of the universe. Mine tends to be a mixture of many schools of thought, but I have a number of friends to whom Christianity makes the most sense & keeps them feeling grounded. I also have friends that follow Buddhism, and some who lean more toward Wicca and/or the earth-based religions. Regardless of what higher power or earth force anyone subscribes to, I do find that we are all of the same mind in this. Everyone would pretty much agree that most things happen for a reason .... there's even the old adage of "you'll never be given more in this life than you can handle". Bullshit. While you may realize that you can handle it later, and even further down the road, laugh about it, there does come a point when the amount of things hitting you at once that you have zero control over will make you want to sit holding your knees in a dark corner while rocking back and forth and singing nursery rhymes. I don't care how old you are or how strong you normally are. It happens.

Now, doesn't that just make you wonder if somewhere out there in the cosmos there's some sarcastic smart-ass albeit sometimes benevolent Overlord swirling their hands around saying "Heeheeheehee .. THIS will keep me from being bored! Let's see what happens!"
