Meg Barnhouse breaks my heart and lifts me up with just about everything she writes. She's got a piece in the UU World this week called "Broken Buddha." I am particularly fond of this line:

The part of me I’m least proud of imagines that this Buddha’s hand detached when he reached out to someone who said something on the order of “Everything happens the way it should” and slapped them silly.

...but you should go read the whole thing.

Yes.

I have yet to indulge the impulse to hit or kick someone who said that and then say "If everything happens as it should, you should think about why it was right and proper for a stranger to attack you."
