"Is Life Fair?"

Ron Dart asks and answers this question:

Is life fair?

Sure, it is. Life and nature do not discriminate. A tsunami doesn't care who it drowns. Hurricane Katrina did not care whose home she destroyed. It's only people who can be unfair.

When you're playing cards, what do you consider a fair deal? Basically, it's when the deal is completely random. That's nature.

The real question people are asking when they ask about fairness is this: "Is life equal?" No, it is not. Life deals good hands and bad hands, and what makes all the difference is how we play the hand.

“Why did God allow hurricane, Katrina to destroy New Orleans?” enquiring minds want to know. But a better question is this: Why are people so foolish in where they build their homes?

Where did all those poor people, living below sea level, come from? Why were they there instead of somewhere else? What were we thinking when we house so many people below sea level in a known hurricane Alley?

I just don’t think it makes sense to blame God for the results when we make foolish decisions. For example, there is a 100 square-mile area in Oregon bulging up. If you know this, and you realize it may be a new volcano coming, and you don't move away, do you have any reason to blame God when it blows up your house?

Nature doesn't care.
