"Most of the time people try to spin it as 'well, maybe they don't get what they deserve in this life, but in the one after' and I'm sorry but if your system of justice for the universe requires people to wait around and maybe in fifty years they die and then maybe they get punished for what they did, but only if they don't say the magic words first..."

She trails off with a chuckle. "We don't get what we deserve, good or bad. The universe doesn't care. It just is."
