Approaching the end of our journey for today, let’s get back to the answer of our question: is universe fair? Is GOD fair? Or is life against you or him or her? Did life aggrieve or was unfair to those who were born orphans or those born with special needs, or those who were sent to wars, or those who lost their ones, or those who were harmed or anguished in a situation while they seemed innocent? In my perspective, the answer to all of these questions is that you, as a human, do not seem to have the capacity to compute or comprehend the fairness equation of the universe to judge and tell an answer yourself. No way you can. Why is that?
