My friend's husband died of lung cancer without ever having smoked. Was he supposed to have drawn that to himself through some personal lacking or issue?

Theories that blame the victim should be tossed out. "The Secret" probably made the author ton of money but, IMHO, it was a load of worthless prattle. There is no secret and the universe is a fairly unpredictable place. You can create your own reality to some extent, but to be held responsible for those events that come from left field is just stupid.
