Life is unfair

Bad things should not happen to "good" people... yet it does. Suck it up and deal with it.

On a daily basis you are confronted with mismatched cause and effect. Karma is whoring herself on acid and a game of Russian roulette most probable with your life. Individuals enrich themselves while masses starve, children fall ill - die. It might not come as a surprise when you start looking at the world that it is rather a Brothers Grimm tale without the happy ending that a Disney production filled ith song and dance.

Should we however become disheartened by the fact that human nature dictates that people look for short-cuts? That the route chosen by an individual only depends on their interpretation of acceptability and mores?  YOU decide what type of person you are, you however do NOT by default dictate the life you lead.

Am I pessimistic? NO. I am having a bad day and I am questioning all those feel good clichés that's supposed to make me feel better about life and the universe.

I believe in purpose - you should learn from experience. I however also think that you should keep an open-mind and be realistic. Question and try to find the meaning in things that go wrong and celebrate things that go right. Try to recapture the miracle of just being alive and being able to love. Care and be cared for.

Is life fair? No. Is it great to be alive? Yes. Regardless of who you are know that you are in control of your attitude towards life. THAT more than anything else will dictate how you feel about your life.
