Not Fair

Life isn't fair. It's a saying that is so painfully truthful, nobody is willing to accept it. Maybe it should be fair, but that doesn't change a thing. Sometimes it's just the way things are.
Personally, I think it relates to jealousy; "Why is she blond, thin and rich? She's only a kid. What had she done to deserve it?"
Of course, we have no control over what kind of family we're born into or our genes and sometimes that makes it that much worse. "She has luck and I don't."
It's not an easy thing to do but maybe if we trained ourselves not to be jealous, it wouldn't matter as much if life was fair.

you're right.. life's not fair. and it never will be. as far as jealousy goes, i think that stems from a lack of self-confidence; in every instance i can think of where it's occurred with me that is the case. so if you can identify what you are insecure about when you feel jealous about something, that might help. no, we cant control our genes or our families and we have some control over our health but sometimes that even can blow us away.

you're writing is a temptation in itself. every word, every new post is a mystery that leaves me wanting, nay, desiring more and also wanting to understand.
