Why Wasn’t It *Worse*?

We often lament, feel sorry for ourselves whatever and think:

“Why did this happen to me? Why was I such a fool? The universe isn’t fair!”

How rarely do we think —

Wow… what happened… why wasn’t it 1000x worse?

And also:

What if that “bad” thing which happened to you might have actually been the greatest *fortune* to you? That the “bad” thing which happened to you is akin to you like winning a $100M lottery?
