You Don`t Always Get What You Want

I over heard a conversation on the bus today, no I was n`t listening in, the person just happened to be talking aloud and I could hear her through my headphones. Anyway back to the point, there was something she said that made me think for a minute; "you don`t always get what you want but you always get what you deserve" (sounded like an intense phone conversation).  I agree with that to some extent (you always get what you want) but I am not so sure I agree with "you always get what you deserve."

Applying what she said to everyday things, like today; I sadly witnessed an 70+ year old woman fall on the pavement (and it did n `t look good her leg was in a bad state and  the ambulance had to be called in).  Question is, did that elderly woman deserve to go through the pain she went through, now I don`t know if she`s good or a bad person OR even if she deserved to trip and badly injure her self, I am in no position to judge. Seeing another human in distress also puts me in distress, its dependable on the type of person you are I guess. 

Its just a weird coincidence because I`ve  heard that conversation on the bus, after I got off the bus and I was walking down to the next one I saw the elderly lady trip over and injure her self. Its a weird coincidence because I was still processing what I`ve over heard on the bus and was trying to figure out why I agreed to the first part of what she said but did n `t agree with the second part. I felt like God answered my question by what happened to the elderly lady obviously I felt bad for the elderly lady, she was in a bad state I wish there was something I could have done. I`ve only just realized that God had answered that question, obviously I was too busy feeling sorry for the elderly lady to even think about that aspect of things at the time. I stood there hoping  the ambulance would arrive soon (for once it actually arrived in under 10 minutes). I left after the ambulance had arrived and luckily someone that knew the elderly lady was walking by at the time and went with her to the hospital.  I just hope she recovers well. 

I`ve gained quite a lot from that, its never actually happened to me before; I just wished that elderly woman did n `t have to get hurt for a simple question to be answered. Some people would say she was destined to trip and hurt her self which I don`t agree with it I mean if the government spent enough money making the pavement even and safe surface to walk on that would n `t have happened in the first place!
