The word "deserve" is meaningless. I doubt we'd be liking life if everything that happened to us, we could see a clear causal link to our behavior. We are fortunate in that we do NOT get everything that's "coming to us". The word "deserve" implies that there is some supernatural modicum of fairness in this world-- so put the concept of "Just Deserts" right up there with the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny. It Just Ain't So. ian
