I often give you a hard time on the forums. Mainly because I think it's funny, but also because your way of writing is contrastingly self-detrimental and self-assertive at the same time. I don't think even you quite understand what you are talking about.
BUT, that being said. I will take the time to read this (At 2am) and respond to each point made as honestly and afluently as I can to perhaps shed some light on your thoughts. I do not claim to be 'right' as I consider the concept of truth laughable. However, I believe in the statements I will make in this context based on what my brain allows me to see.
I think I can summarise your post as mainly "Why do bad things happen when I do only good things". You know as well as most, the world is not fair. I do not believe in mystic Karma, but I do believe in causal Karma. That is to say, I think a chain of events will always occur from an original act, but the proceeding residual effects do not necessarily reflect the moral aspects of the former.
There's no way to 'fix' the things that happen to you BEFORE they happen. You don't know what is going to happen, and if you really do believe you are doing the 'right' thing, then you can only take one bit of advice to developing yourself. Decentralise yourself from the situation. It is a common thing I see that people get into a habit of focusing solely on what is happening to them, the things that happen to them and the things they own. This usually leads to a negative outlook because you'll start to notice all the bad things and in turn it'll just make things get worse and worse, and you'll start ignoring the good things that happen to you because you want to notice that bad things as it fits into your negative self-schema. It's essentially a self-fulfilling prophecy that does not work in your favour?
How to remedy this is not a method or formula. Trying to remove your own ego a little bit only brings it in even more. Don't TRY and make sense of things that "happen" to you. You absolutely can't, and never will be able to. The universe as we know it has almost infinite variables, and seeing people running around all the time asking "WHY", "WHY", "WHY", is a great shame because they will spend their whole life either trying to figure out why, or believing they really know why and the latter can lead people to do terrible, terrible things.
I don't want to take a logical positivist approach, but quite often it's best to accept things as they are. Behave like water and mould to your surroundings. Do not fight the current, but rather let yourself flow smoothly in the direction of your choosing. Look not to the past, as it is only a flittering explanation of how you are where you are, it does not tell you or show you where you are. You are right now. It is never the past, it is never the future. Stop thinking about yourself as a thing that is being 'done'. You are DOING it. Its all now and your life is in your hands. It can be whatever you want it to be.
