Eric Meyer's posts about his daughter's illness, and the family's lifelong process of grieving afterward, are heartbreaking. It's arresting, gripping writing. It's wonderful and awful. Hug your loved ones tight. https://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/category/personal/rebecca...

How can the game be so unfair for some? People don’t deserve this.

Makes you think how life so easily and randomly can be so different irrespective of who you are or what you do to affect you forever.

it's indeed strange to realize that life / universe can crunch everything brainlessly in some spot while everything else is colorful around

Was just reading this on the pain of parenting in Medea by Euripides this weekend:

"Suppose that the children have grown into youth And have turned out good, still, if God so wills it, Death will away with your children's bodies, And carry them off into Hades. What is our profit, then, that for the sake of Children the gods should pile up on mortals After all else This most terrible grief of all?"

I try not to think about it too much.

This might be a topic too heavy for this venue. The thumbnail sketch is "Consult the history of human philosophy and faith and you will find people wrestling with this question ever since we could talk and write."

(Personal opinion: fairness is a human construct. The universe does not care. We are the ones who make it as fair as we can.)

Neil, there is a logic flaw in your little aphorism that seems quite telling. Since you and I are a part of the Universe, then we would also be indifferent and uncaring. Perhaps you forgot, Neil, that we are not superior to the Universe but merely a fraction of it. Nice day, indeed
