Of Fairness, God and The Universe

Recently a person I have known for over fifty years and whose health is not the best complained that it all seemed so unfair. Their lungs failing them, their damaged hip plus my cancer are all somehow judged by them as wrong in the scheme of things, a little too much for one person to have to bear. This implies a greater power, perhaps a deity, that has for reasons unknown selected the pair of us to contract these hideous diseases or afflictions. There is no God or deity who would do such a thing for there is only one power in the universe able to utilise disease as a way to balance life. It may seem cruel if judged by those who believe in a personal deity but when seen it how it is, the universe ensuring the balance of life is maintained then the idea of fairness becomes redundant. All the diseases we as a species face, all the diseases any of creation encounter are there for a purpose and that purpose is to, as I now repeat myself, add balance in the circle of life. In short, those diseases we face are there to kill us. It is only by humankind's benign involvement with their ever-growing knowledge of science applied medicine coupled with their incredible intelligence that holds those diseases at bay. 

Belief in God doesn't mean that the God being believed in has any direct involvement with the pain people suffer as a consequence of a disease being suffered. You cannot pass the blame of pain or of disease onto another even a deity. To do so implies a level of wickedness on the other you are saying is responsible. God is not like that. If there is a God then surely he created nature, the universe and all that lies within it. He is not a wicked deity but neither is the universe or nature itself. Blaming another for the state you are in is just a call for help. Aside from friends and family, neighbours maybe, there is no one else to help you. Only you can help you. The fault doesn't exist. There is no fault. What is ailing you is beyond blame. As harsh as it sounds you simply have to get on with it. My cancer is not the fault of anyone. Cancer is part and parcel of life. It just is, Life just is.
