Are we the PUPPETS or the ARCHITECTS of our fate??

Why does it happen that some honest person gets trapped in the web of scandals and is punished, while the defaulter continues to live a happy life? What justification can be accounted for a vibrant youth getting crashed in a road accident on his way home, when he was eager to give the exciting news to his parents about his selection in one of the top-notch MNC’s? How can one call it fair for a happy and respectable family being looted away, ruined and murdered by robbers?

… We are the residents of the 21st century-the age of logics and science. On the basis of our reasoning ability, we have unfolded various mysteries, thus finding answers to several ‘whys’ pertaining to the world we live in.
