On the one hand We have our Ups, and on the other We have our Downs. That’s Nature’s system.

But what perplexes Us is, why do the Downs always seem so much more speedy and alarming? Huh? What’s with that? It doesn’t seem quite fair.

But “fair” is not part of Nature’s system, or at least not consistently enough to notice.

Whatever Nature lacks, it isn’t integrity.
