Oh yeah, I found this forum by accident a few months ago. I have been studying Epicureanism for roughly a year now and was looking for some answers(I don't record exactly what I was looking for) and Google showed me a similar question made on this forum.

Well, I am not exactly sure what Epicurus would say, but, in general, I think it is wise to remember that nature is not ruled by an intelligent force(like claimed by the Stoics or some religions) and that it is not intrinsically "fair" or "unfair", but yes, it just is as it is. In the end, it is up to us to adjust our behavior according to how things present themselves, so we can maximize our pleasure and minimize our pain over the long term.
