no fair
some thing just aren’t fair
Whoa! Where would one begin? Globally, nationally, state-wide, or right in my own home? There’s lot of unfairness in this world. I would not be able to list all the examples in life I feel are unfair:
- Starvation
- Bullying
- Catastrophic illness
- Catastrophic illness and no insurance
- Old-age
- Denial of basic human rights
- Depression
That the rich get richer while the poor get poorer.
I could go on ad infinitum. But navel gazing isn’t good. Besides a lot of what is unfair in this world sits squarely on our shoulders. A lot of the unfairness of this world is not because GOD has done anything but because we have done nothing.
There couldn’t possible be a hungry child if we all did our part. Bullying couldn’t exist without the bully’s. Parents are responsible to see their children are not bully’s. Mine weren’t. Not ever. Not once. They were taught to value people and they were also brought up in fear of the consequences if they did. They didn’t want “no mama trouble.”
Illness will strike but we can do our best to maintain a healthy life-style.
We can’t do anything about old-age but we can learn to be our best at any age.
We can write our congressman about lack of human rights around the world. We can pray. We can become knowledgable about what we can do.
Depression. A big one for me. But there is so much we can do about our depression. Depression can be defeated. (see depressionsgift.com)
We can’t do anything about another’s financial success except to make sure that our lack of it is not to due to lack of initiative or poor choices. (Besides, not all people want or seek financial success and everyone’s definition is different anyway.) At the same time we need to be aware that these people made sacrifices, some of which cost them dearly. Maybe we didn’t want to make those sacrifices.
I see unfairness every day and wonder about it. I know the adage that says “Whoever said life was fair?” but that brings little comfort. As long as evil people exist, unfairness will exist. But as long as good people exist, there is hope.
