When Good Things Happen to Bad People

Specifically, people who have treated you poorly.
These are the times when God might as well be whispering (as you learn of their happiness),
"Crawl back into your mother's womb."
Certainly, no one deserves anything.
And fairness was not promised by anyone.
(Justice is a pretend idea.)
But to know that somewhere that person is happy
while you are still caught in their terrible wake
is more than enough reason to face the fact that
The Universe is Indifferent,
and we are all just stuck here
shitting all over each other
and the last roll of toilet paper is out.
