MMY's out for his obvious failure in the fulfillment of his stated desires is that "Nature" guided it or that the people's "deservability" wasn't high enough.
It reminds me of a story Peg Leg Sam the harmonica playing hobo told. He was playing to draw crowds for a medicine show where the guy was selling the legendary "snake oil". He told the people that it would cure snake bites and it was 500 times thinner than water so it would cure all ailments. He used to hold up a live rattler for attention but this time when he was putting it back in the box the snake bit him. As he was screaming for a doctor the crowd asked "why don't you just use your magical snake oil?" The crowd caught on that he wanted nothing to do with his own medicine and kept screaming for a real doctor. The crowd ran them both out of town! People selling "fulfillment of all desires" are exploiting a beautiful human ability to dream and have hope. Once you put in the stipulation that "nature" can override your desires or that people might not "deserve" the good you wish on them, you end up with a theory without falsifiability. Same rigged system with fulfillment of prayers, if it doesn't work it was God's will. Think anybody on a plane falling out of the sky ever tried praying their way out of it? How did that work out for them?
