Ecclesiastes explanation of bad beats

Finally a reliable source of explanation for the tremendous bad beats I have been experiencing. Like the famous Job in the bible whose faith was tested by increasingly terrible events as a test of his faithfulness, I have found an answer in the bible. The author of Ecclesiastes says: "The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the intelligent, nor favor to the men of skill; but time and chance happen to them all."

So there you have it. Being a better poker player just is not enough. The rain pours down on the just and the unjust. The problem is that it happens to different people at the same table you are sitting on, especially the donkeys among them.
