"For all of His ways are just." (Deut 32:4)  All of G-d's ways and all of G-d's actions in the world are righteous and perfect even if we don't understand them at the time.

        Moshe (Moses) asked Hashem (G-d), "Show me your ways." Hashem showed Moshe the following scene: A man went to a well and while getting water, accidentally dropped his money purse. A second man who came by later for water, noticed the purse, took it for himself and left. A third man came by later for water. While he was there, the first man came back, asking for his purse. The third man said he didn't see any purse. The first man accused him of lying and stealing his purse. In a fit of rage, the first man killed the third man.

        Shocked at what he witnessed, Moshe asked Hashem, "Is this how You run the world? Is this justice?" Hashem responded, "The first man was a thief. He stole the purse from the second man. The third man was a murderer. He murdered the father of the first man. I arranged that the purse was returned to its rightful owner, and the son got to avenge the death of his father."

        Two thousand years ago, Rebbi Akiva was traveling. He needed to stop for the night at a certain town as it was getting too dark to continue traveling. There was no room at the inn. He went from door to door looking for a host but nobody would take him. Weary and dejected, he went to the nearby forest to camp out for the night. He brought a rooster to wake him up in the morning but a fox came and ate the rooster. Then a wild animal came and killed his donkey. All he had left was a candle so he could study Torah late into the night but the wind kept blowing out the candle. Finally in frustration he went to sleep for the night.

        The next morning, Rebbi Akiva returned to the town to obtain supplies. He discovered that during the night, a vicious band of armed robbers had come during the night and killed everyone in the town. If he had been given a place to sleep there, he would have been killed too. Further if he hadn't lost his donkey, rooster and candle, he would have been seen or heard by the robbers.
