Fair

If life doesn't seem fair it's because it isn't. Fairness is even an odd term because upon reflection it is a highly relative one. There are rich people we might envy who are miserable and seek escape from their existence. There are also those who have very little and yet are deeply content. Even physical suffering sometimes stumps us as we wonder how a disability does not hinder some from feeling great joy.

We are enigmatic creatures who often make our own misery by drowning in what is ostensibly a glass of water and once perspective sets in, we subsequently marvel at our short-sightedness.

We will sometimes create our own misery by feeling we are not deserving and wallow in self-pity rather than get what we want thus creating our own sense of unfairness.
