Some folks get the “short straw” in life, and I will never have an answer as to why. The short straw concept usually means getting the bad end of a deal. A dirty job needs to be done and some blades of grass or twigs from a tree are broken into long and short pieces, with only one short one. They are hidden in the hand of the person in charge, and everyone pulls out a piece. The one who gets the short straw does the dirty job. It is a simple lottery system, used in many ways.
It seems fair enough, in the situation at hand. But I frequently visit a woman who has for about half her life been severely incapacitated by an illness not of her choosing. She did not choose the short straw, it chose her. We talk about that, and I have no answer. She did not choose to draw out a straw, but in effect she did, by being born. We all do. I drew a long straw, and in my gratitude for that I must serve as best I can those who drew the short ones. She cannot be blamed for being one who drew the short straw, and I should not be acclaimed for being a long-straw person.
