Is life against some people and not others? Are there really unlucky people in the world?
I often wonder things like this cause when I’m at work and don’t have much to do these sorts of questions seem to rise to the surface.
Here’s what has my mind working today, I have a friend and he had a car until the engine blew for lack of oil immediately he asks “God why can’t I catch a break?” in order for everything to make sense let me go back a year and half this same friend received a speeding ticket on his way to college and cause of a prior offense the great state of Illinois deemed him unfit to drive and took away his license for 3 months thus he was forced to quit school he had no transportation well he was already scheduled for spring classes and a grant he had paid for it the moment they learned he wasn’t in class they told him to pay back the money they had put in to pay for his tuition he tried to argue against it but in the end he had to do what they told him to do…so now he has a ticket, no license, no more education, is out money, and oh one more thing he gets a kidney stone has no insurance so add hospital bill to the list well luckily he works close to home and he can get there unluckily he is laid off just as he gets his license back so “Whooo hooo got a car!...oh crap no money to pay for gas….”
Fast forward some no real major problems for him for a few months had another kidney stone but as I have read they will always reoccur. About 6 months go by and he’s doing ok nothing major has happened then out of the blue as he is eating dinner there is a knock on his door hospital is suing for lack of payment, he goes to court is ordered to make monthly payments…”Whew, that was scary but no biggie” says my friend. Oh the biggie is just about to strike on his way to work one early morning he hears a ‘POP’ and then his car locks up he pulls over and tries to turn it over all the car does is make a “click” sound. His Brother-in Law looks at it finds there isn’t a drop of oil in the car, tries some other things then lays out the prognosis the engine has seized.
So I ask you a fine folks is the world against him? Or consider this he has a history of bending the truth and omitting things..yes he is somewhat of a liar could Karma be getting back at him?
