"I am the victim of a series of accidents -- as are we all" - The Space Wanderer, aka Malachi Constant, protagonist of Kurt Vonnegut's great inter-galactic epic, "The Sirens of [Saturn's Earth-sized satellite,] Titan". (Click to read first five pages plus)
The fate of the Wanderer, as well as the fates of rest of us, are better understood by the now often considered archaic and obsolete term: Providence.
Matthew 5:44-45 KJV But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
Romans 8:28 KJV And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Providence is much more comfortable -- and beautiful, -- and good, -- and true.
