I think this is a good answer. Sometimes you try your best and things just don't turn out. Maybe it's luck, maybe you deserved it, but either way, good or bad, make the best of it because everything that happens shapes who you are.
Bad things happen to good people all the time. Bad people get away with things too. There are people who will always be worse off than you are, just be grateful for the things you have. Whenever I say "why me" I'm usually half joking anyways, I know my life isn't that bad, sometimes I complain too much when I really shouldn't have anything to complain about. It's always something you tend to do naturally when you're in a bad situation. I guess it's the difference of being optimistic vs pessimistic. I've seen people dying of cancer with great attitudes, they don't question, they just live life to their fullest.
On a side note, the Count of Monte Cristo was a much better movie than I expected.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
