There is an expression that says you get what you deserve. The fact is that sometimes you do and sometimes you don't. It is more truthful to say: "What you get is what you get." What does deserving have to do with it?

Oh, of course, sometimes you bring something on yourself. You were driving your car, and you looked at cows by the wayside, and the next thing you knew, you had an accident. You looked away and, therefore, you may undoubtedly be responsible for the accident. Yet I will not accept the judgment that seems to go with, "You deserved it."
