Hi: My understanding is everything happening in the
world is justifiable. We don't know the reasons.
The divine power that rules the world, maya gives
punishments to the bad things humans do. Maya goes
by certain fundamentals some of which I mentioned
at the web site http://www.geocities.com/mayaworld1234
(under chapter links under part of chapter 1).
Gods don't give out everything why it is punishing,
to humans since they expect humans to do good things,
not doing good things fearing punishments and 2nd 
reason is for some things, maya gives punishments
a lot later in life(say some 20 years down the road),
so humans may work around the punishments. Maya is
not illusion. The punishments maya gives usually are
simple reverse logic; it gives that way so that
Gods/Goddesses can understand the punishments easily.
High souls like sages can understand, have usually
vision and see why a particular thing is happening
to them. That vision is taken out for all of us.
One of the requirements to give that vision to humans
is, human beings need to be vegetarian.
