I do my best, have Faith, and leave the rest up to the wisdom of God. I have lived long enough to have seen the "unfair advantage" catch up to many people.

Know that this life is only temporary. This life is all we know so that we can get to know ourselves. But we are only here for a moment. We will exist for a much longer time in a much better or worse place (depends on what you believe). This life is just a test. Mulitiple tests designed to prove where our hearts are. The negative experiences that we have test our strength and endurance. The positive experiences are blessings that most of us take for granted.
Do you pay attention to your blessings (the sky, wind, birds, trees, smiling faces, laughter, etc)? If not you will be over whelmed with the negative that is so much less than the positive.
God does exist. If you don't believe then where does your happiness come from? From selfish desires? We live for a greater purpose. Our sadness is only temporary unless you chose to wallow in it. It can seem too much at times, I agree. But in the middle of chaos we can find peace. Read the bible of all the stories of people that feel like you do. They lost people they love, they too were abused, mistreated, and hurt in so many ways but they made it through. How? Read it and see. It can't hurt, Right?

As humans we a the ability of "free will"... we can choose to be mad happy sad or dwell on the past and all the bad things that have happened. Life is life and we live it... good or bad.
Some people are lucky and seem to succeed at everything and are never dealt a bad hand... but for those who have had some bad things happen to them... to keep from going crazy we have get up and go on... choose to be happy... it's not easy... look for the little things that can bring a moment of peace and a smile to your face... I don't know how your life has been and I am hoping that you not medically depressed... But from my own experiences I have had to make myself just turn away from the past and create a future that eases my heart... it may sound lame but if your sane of mind... you can do this... Good Luck!!

How do we know that life is not fair? Yes, sometimes that seems to be true from our limited perspective. And that's what I remember, that I don't always see the complete picture, just my corner of it. This helps me to focus on what I can gain from any experience, especially the unpleasant ones.

I think about how life is not fair for anybody. Which is kind of fair on a higher level.

Think of this:
Give me the serenity to bear the things I can't change,
the courage and strength to change the ones I can and
the wisdom to know the difference.

Step away from the pitty pot !
Go out and do something for someone less fortunate , that should change your perspective on life .
