I hadn't seen the Lemmony Snicket's movie "A Series of Unfortunate Events" until a couple of days ago. It was on Showtime I believe and I watched it as I cleaned the kitchen and made banana pudding. This movie is nothing that I suspected. It isn't at all a kids movie and is very much in the vein of "Big Fish". It told a story of hope and redemption. It was dark and twisted with a whimsical undertone. I love movies like that. Not quite on the beaten path but camoflaged by it enough to appear to be.
Anyway, this post isn't about that movie, but about a particular line at the beginning. I can't recall it word for word but as I remember it was something envolving people generally get what they deserve. It was in reference to the Jim Carrey character and how horribly dispicable he was. However, that got me thinking. If people get what is coming to them, then why do the bad things happen to the good people in first place?

bad things happen to good people because life just sucks like that. also, karma.
anyway, i was just browsing sites and such on blogger. i like your layout and song. keep up the good shit.
no. i don't think people get what they deserve.
i do believe if you have a postive attitude about life you see what you get as being good. you end up feeling more satisfied with life, even if your life is shit.
whereas bad people see everything in a negative, paranoid way and no matter how good life is, they feel like shit and they lash out.
But what about the children in The Lemony Snickets tale? They didn't think negatively and their parents were killed in a fire and they were put through horrible things after by an evil man. And what about people who get raped? Are you implying that they asking for it?
