Well, as I understand Core 4, Gryphon (UF) didn't create the entire Undocumented Features universe; it's the creation of the Gryphon who ended up in Hopelessly Lost. So the universe beating up on him isn't UF-Gryphon's problem.

And as far as shit happening goes, I'm reminded of a story of a farmer who found a horse. Everybody congratulated him on his good fortune, and he responded, "Are you sure this is good fortune?"

Then, while his son was using the horse to plow a field, the horse broke loose, and broke his son's leg. Everybody expressed sympathy for his bad fortune, and he responded, "Are you sure this is bad fortune?"

Then the local lord's men came through, impressing all able-bodied young men into the army. The farmer's son was left out, because of his broken leg.

"Things that appear good today," the farmer noted, "may be bad tomorrow, and today's misfortune may be tomorrow's opportunity. Who am I to judge these things?"
