Good people FAIL? Bad people WIN?

Your life is not cursed, and how can you tell what someone's life is like just by looking at them. The secret to a happy life is not by having good things always happening to you, but by choosing to react positively to bad things in your lives. I think you need to talk to your "former" boss about firing you for missing a whole week of work to undergo emergency surgery, that is not very ethical in my opinion and I think you may even be able to sue him/her. Don't worry things will get better.
