Life's unfair

Interestingly, the unfairness of life is what makes life, life. Daily, it is so common to come across the phrase, life's unfair, either in jest, in hard emotional situations, in happiness, in anger. People seemed to like using this phrase alot.

I was reminded of this phrase again, yesterday. For the past 2 days, I was engaged in the in-house training, or so called workshop. One of the speakers were the place's consultant, a mschun. I shall not name her here, though. Anyhow, she's a great speaker and motivator.

It was her that used this phrase in one of sections. I had not of the habit to use it, hence hearing it again, make me think. My head was spinning, listening to her, while also processing my memories.

Life's unfair, but it is perhaps the things that you deemed unfair that makes it fair. You get some, therefore, without a doubt you have to give some. You want more money, you have to work. You want more time, you have reduce work. You want to be heard, you have to talk. You want to listen, you have to stop talking to give others a chance to be heard. You want big head, you have to die, or try to undergo impossible surgery. You want to move out, you cannot stay here, comfortable as you are.

So life's unfairness. Maybe. But like I said, maybe we all should not emphasis on the UN-but instead the fairness. It's the balance, the yin and yang of this world. Life's unfairness is the FAIRNESS of life. It has to be, there's no other way.
