What you do and the choices you make are (and say) more about you than your opponents. This is what the people who say "they deserve X" miss.

There was an interesting TED talk about making difficult choices. The speaker did a good job of defining what a difficult decision was. Contrary to common belief, they are not necessarily high stakes choices. In fact the consequences don't even have to be negative; one could agonize over which of two good choices he should make.

What it boiled down to is that difficult choices don't lend themselves to simple arithmetics or become easier if you have more info. So the solution to them is to go with the choice that defines you or is at least more compatible with your values.
