“That my friend, and maybe me and everyone else involved, had done something to deserve punishment — or that this was all wrapped up into a fun little ‘life lesson’ for us all — was outrageous to me. My dad gave the opposite advice, saying, ‘Sometimes things just happen. There’s no reason, they just happen.’ And that gave me comfort. I don’t need to hear that something in the universe specifically targets people to have a ‘bad time’ for some vague reason that we’ll never find out. Random life events are not punishments or rewards. Sometimes things just happen.”
