Life Is Unfair

There is a famous line said by Rick Riordan (Red Pyramid), "Fair means everyone gets what they need. And the only way to get what you need is to make it happen by yourself”.

Most of us think Life has been very unfair to us whether we consider the past or present scenarios which occur with us.

We fail to realise that every time we can’t expect things to turn out the way we want to, there is also another side to it which makes you learn the things required to achieve of what is needed in your lives.

People have a lot of excuses to make for not doing what they’re supposed to do (the right set of efforts). The mentality that others have got this and we’re not getting anything does not lead us to the positive aspects we want. We need to know there are certain things we cannot choose for ourselves.

Such as the part of the world was born, our skin colour, the weather on the day of that “oh so important date”, the team that wins the UEFA champions league etc. A lot of people, however, seem fixated on the things they cannot change.

As a result, they feel out of control, sad, depressed and seem to think life isn’t fair. It is our nature to weigh up, compete and feel desolate especially when we see others having more money, huge properties, better relationships or good health. We then try and find flaws in their lives, look out for something that is not right with them and feels happy how better we are off with them.

It’s just a reactive mindset because life never hands us the situations to excel, it’s up to us to prepare ourselves and look out for opportunities.

The thing is life is indeed fair, as I’ve been made to understand because it’s unfair to everyone. Do not await life to bring your way the apt conditions for becoming great in life ( it is your duty to make it ), do not expect life to bring the right situations your way, you are to go out and find it. Rather than shouting to the sky, "Why always me, think about the positive side to it that life has given a chance to become better and stronger than before.

It always feels great to enjoy the bright weather and cope with the storms.A rainy day is much finer if we remember to bring our umbrellas, side-step the puddles and drive carefully.

In fact, there is no idea about the fact how existence works, why life unfurls for each of us the way it does. While some might call it destiny others believe in past life karma and yes how can we forget, the luck by chance factor. For the universe to run smoothly, events and occurrences have to be in a definite way because life moves not in a straight line but in infinite loops. This much we know by looking at life where rich and poor, good and bad, happiness and grief, life and eternal rest all come in cycles. Just give a thought if everything would be as per our wishes or desires, the need to learn would completely end.

So just Live your life. Take what comes your way and deal with it as best you can :)
