I think a lot of this has to do with fairness too. As I have said in other comments. People seem to think that life in general should be fair and that they are owed something. I think if people just learned to embrace the chaos a little they might not be so quick to blame. They might also find there is less chaos in their world.
100% agree. An eye for any eye seems like it is fair, but it doesn't factor in all of the "unfair" that led to the first eye, does it? The only fair is that the universe doesn't care one way or the other about us.
Absolutely!
