They always have a chance to find happiness though, even if it isn't apparent to them at first. There's also always a lesson to be learnt through the suffering of others. Sometimes, they simply live this life to struggle and to be granted the eventual mercy of death, but other times, if they will it to be so, they can be destined for greatness. Other times, it's hopeless. There's nothing they can do but live or die.
Though it's sad, there's a lesson there too. Just do the best with what you can. My favorite quote from The Boondocks was this exchange between Huey Freeman and...the grandpa. Huey, feeling crestfallen, asks him, "Granddad, what are you supposed to do when you can't do nothing but there's nothing you can do?" (Can't do nothing, as in, you can't just sit there and let things happen.) Granddad simply smiles and says, "You do what you can."
Also remember that who a person is, is an amalgamation of past cause-and effect; your past actions and decisions, those of the people around you, and that of your environment. If the child suffers from fetal alcohol syndrome, his mother is to blame, not God. If he's an autistic person from a family with a long history of autism, their genes are to blame. They could simply choose not to reproduce if they're so afraid of that drawback. Otherwise, you just play with the hand you're dealt.
Don't stress too much over what you can't control, alright? But don't relinquish what little control you do have over this world either. What you do affects the future, even if you choose simply not to do anything.
sorry for the blog post though
