As a first approximation, people get what they deserve in life. Then add the random effects of luck.

What ethical theory are you using for your definition of "deserve"?
It is a fine question, since the word "deserve" is the link between an observation and a judgment about the person. I don't think I need an answer to it to make the observation that most people here don't hold that view. Which is a good thing, because I don't think I have a satisfactory answer beyond rough moral intuition.
