The rain falls on the just and the unjust.

Summary

This quote suggests that in life, both good and bad experiences are not selective to certain individuals, but are shared equally by everyone, regardless of their righteousness or moral standing. It implies that rain, which symbolizes challenges or hardships, affects everyone indiscriminately, without regard for their character or actions. In essence, it conveys the idea that fairness or justice may not always be present in the distribution of fortune or misfortune; rather, these circumstances are simply a part of life that all individuals must face.
