What Do You Deserve?

Posted at 06:41 PM on June 14, 2009

For the record, I have these instances when I think really fucked up things. Like today at breakfast, my mom gave our waitress $5. In my head I thought, "Yeah, use that to buy yourself some English lessons." Fucked, right?


Anyway, we're driving home from my grandmother's house later and on the opposite side a car has flipped over. My mom's comment is that the car had to have been going very fast so my thought was: "then they deserved it."


Did they?

We're quick to say we deserve good things after hard work and dedication. Surely we don't only deserve things in the positive. And we don't. Take a serial killer; he kills a shit ton of people and we say that he deserves the death penalty. That, however, is the other extreme. What about deserving things in the middle?


Good deserves good.

Bad deserves bad.

Shouldn't mediocre deserve mediocre?


I'm not sure it works that way.
