NEVER SAY "LIFE IS NOT FAIR"

How many times have you heard people cribbing about life not being fair? It is a pretty common statement used by people to blame life for all that they haven’t achieved even after working so hard to get it. But is Life really not “fair”?

What do we mean when we say “fair”? The Oxford dictionary gives the meaning of the word ‘fair’ as “just, equitable” (and a whole lot more but irrelevant here). Something that is acceptable to all. But what is the meaning that we tend to understand? What we actually want is to succeed in everything that we do, reach every goal we want and never fail. That is the ‘fairness’ of life we are looking for!

But I say that “LIFE IS FAIR”!!!! How you ask? Simple…..

There may have been times when you have got something you really wanted and you were so happy. Like when you were a little kid and your parents got you that toy that you really wanted. Remember that happy feeling? And what about that sadness when that toy broke within a few days? You may have had similar experiences in your life till with different things. The sadness really gets to you if it is something that you really longed for and finally got it only to lose it again. At such times we get the feeling about life not being fair. But what if our desire would not have been fulfilled in the first place? Obviously we would regret our desire not being fulfilled. But wouldn’t that regret would be LESSER than the pain of losing it AFTER having fulfilled our desire????

Instead of blaming ‘life’ for not being fair, we should thank it for saving us from going through a greater pain.

So now tell me………..Isn’t Life Fair?
