C
A friend f mine, in respnse t a cnversatin we were having abut the injustices f life, asked me the questin, “Wh said life was ging t be fair, r that it was even meant t be fair?” Her questin was a gd ne. It reminded me f smething I was taught as a yungster: life isn’t fair. It’s a disappintment, but it’s abslutely true. One f the mistakes many f us make is that we feel srry fr urselves, r fr thers, thinking that life shuld be fair, r that smeday it will be. It’s nt and it wn’t be.
One f the nice things abut surrendering (屈从) t the fact that life isn’t fair is that it keeps us frm feeling srry fr urselves by encuraging us t d the very best we can with what we have. We knw it’s nt “life’s jb” t make everything perfect, it’s ur wn challenge. Surrendering t this fact als keeps us frm feeling srry fr thers because we are reminded that everyne is dealt differently; everyne has unique strengths and prblems in the prcess f grwing up, facing the reality and making decisins; and everyne has thse times that they feel unfairly treated.
The fact that life isn’t fair desn’t mean we shuldn’t d everything in ur pwer t imprve ur wn lives r the wrld as a whle. T the cntrary, it suggests that we shuld. When we dn’t recgnize r admit that life isn’t fair, we tend t feel pity fr thers and fr urselves. Pity, f curse, is a self-defeating emtin that des nthing fr anyne, except t make everyne feel wrse than they already d. When we d recgnize that life isn’t fair, hwever, we feel enthusiastic fr thers and fr urselves. And enthusiasm is a heartfelt emtin that cnveys lving-kindness t everyne it tuches.
The next time yu find yurself thinking abut the injustices f the wrld, try reminding yurself f this very basic fact. Yu may be surprised that it can make yu ut f self-pity and int helpful actin.
