Felt Taken?

I believe that life has a way of taking things away, sometimes without a good reason. People believe in a karmic cycle, and sometimes they believe in a system of breaking down before getting back up. Can every event be justified? Does happiness always follow sadness? And does the world always have the intention of helping you in some indirect way? I believe in a sense that we frequently suffer without a surprise behind the curtain. I’m not a pessimist, but I have seen the individual become wrecked, destroyed, and deprived of joy, and they sort of stay that way for awhile… a long while.
