When listening to the self-righteous condemn those who have made a mistake in our society, it is important to remember that we are listening to the luckiest people in the world. The universal law of cause and effect has dealt lightly with them.
Fate, however, may still deal them a losing hand. By a surprising twist of events, they may someday find themselves in need of human sympathy and compassion while being crushed under the weight of a draconian legal system that knows no mercy.
Perhaps, when faced with the crimes of humanity, it is wiser to recite with humility, "There, but for the luck of fate, go I."
