The Poisonwood Bible
p327
You can't just point to the one most terrible thing and wonder why it happened.
As Anatole says, if you look hard enough you an always see reasons, but you'll go crazy if you think it's all punishment for your sins.
God doesn't need to punish us. He just grants us a long enough life to punish ourselves.
(Oh how much I must have done wrong!) :)
