Who ever told you that life would be fair? I thank God for life, and ever night before going to sleep I think about 3 good things that happened today, and I thank God for them. Then I go to sleep. I have no time for what is not fair.

well, this is a PART of essay i wrote about my life.. "My Broken Life" My broken life can’t be fixed in one click. The wounds in my heart and soul can’t easily be healed… I am still thinking how to conquer everything in order to be alive in order to stand still and pass all the hurt… And face the world with dignity and pride. The darkest part of me is inside my heart and soul. It always comes when I’m all alone. It’s pushing me to my own death… Gladly I am surviving for those thoughts and stand stronger on my own ground of existence. my life is has its own test.. our life wont change in one click but we need to work on it.. make effort to do it.. most of the strong peoples (not literally) work hard to get what they want.. and sometimes ended with nothing.. if u want life to be fair.. treat peoples fair.. do fair things.. do right things.. a one change in ur heart will be a big change in the world.. because other peoples will follow u.. pass all these test of life.. work hard.. do right things.. and step by step life will be fair.. good..

Life is fair.Im glad I stopped the self pity on myself years ago.Now I know from others like yourself that I must of looked like a foolish attention getter.Look at whats good in life.Look at the bad things and think how much worst they can be.Like one year my kids was gonna get very little for Christmas.I felt bad.Almost depressed over it,then I got to thinking of all the kids who wont get not 1 present.Or the people who will loose a child due to death.It made me sad to think like that but it also made me realise I have alot going on in life then those who are worst off then me.Self pity will ruin you.

Why should it be fair? Fair or unfair implies design. Life is just a game of chance.

Life isn't a game show! There are no rules by which you navigate through it. Things happen...good and bad. How you respond it it determines its effect on you. There are terminally ill patients and quadriplegics who have tremendously positive perspectives on their lives. AND there are wealthy super stars who hate their lives.
Life is what it is...neither fair nor unfair...it just is.

Because it's full of people. People with conflicting desires and agendas. We can't all always get what we want.
Besides, since each of us operates with limited information (none of us are omniscient), what we want might not actually be good for us anyway. Or what we want might hurt someone else and make like not fair for them.

life is what you make of it. If you look at it in a negative then that is how it will apprear, try finding the positive of it and then you will find happiness. The choices we make haunt us and that is why life isn't always fair.

Life is what you make of it, Its your choices and actions you make that sets your life in motion. And choices and actions of others. If life was fair then there wouldn't be anything to do, now would there?. You live.

What do you mean by fair? I would say that currently this worlded is obviously tainted/ corrupted by evil. When Jesus returns He is going to make a new heaven & new earth uncorrupted by sin & evil.
