unfair

What's the hardest lesson in life? That things are unfair. We continually look for ways over, around or under in order to make life just, but seriously who are we really kidding? Whether it's the Sunday paper being drenched in water or the articles inside it that keep us updated on some of the unbelievable things that go on in our world, there can be too many unfair points in life. I just love the people that request to "speak with someone higher" or that think they are "going to show them" and end up only making themselves look like huge babies in adult bodies or end up on the evening news. I don't understand why they don't just get on the floor & kick & scream their way to justice. Then there are the people that think they will go the adult route & "get their lawyer". They will sue unfairness until it goes away.
We often look at other people's circumstances or situations and envy the ones that seem to "have it all"...do they? Or have they just adjusted their attitudes and perspectives so much that they & you have to believe they do? We look at the people that seem less fortunate & hang our heads low with frowns on our faces feeling sorry for them...all the while we secretly are glad that it's not us....hmmm. We think to ourselves, I couldn't imagine going thru that, or being "him/her". But isn't the truth that we have all been on the short end of the stick in some way shape or form...some victim of the butt of one of life's ironic, cruel jokes? We have all felt the pain from life's unfairness. We have all felt the sadness of reality and only hoped that whatever escape cloud we could get on next would carry us quickly to a destination that would make us forget. So what is the cure for all the injustice in the world? I would say humor...the only shelter that we have from the cruelty of the unfairness of life. After all, nothing is more funny than being beat with the "life isn't fair" stick so many times that you can't see straight...then and only then can you truly go to the place way down under & grab the strength you need for a great laugh.
