Fair is not a word...

Or shouldn't be one, in fact...For one, it no longer is existent in our society today. Gone are the days where justice is served. Law and order does not even bring justice to this word at all. How more can it give the helpless hope, much less confidence. I'm not saying revenge is good, neither am I saying that we should live in pretence. However, something has to be done. Just take a look at how corrupted our legal systems have become. I'm very much aware that just as powerless as you, as I type this. But let us be responsible for our actions and reflect, this pre-election period, for those involved. Only a friendly reminder, like what they always say.

Then there's this other saying:

The grass is always greener on the other side.

Plainly put, as a summarization of humanity's contentment. Yes, we humans are never satisfied.

Now, fair takes on the subjective scrutinity of man...
"What exactly is fair?" Can't say I know the answer to that myself.

For starters, life is never fair. Caught you there, didn't I?
Be it in any way, whether it is from your background, lifestyle, acquaintances and just who you are or become to be. Answer the WHAT, WHO, WHERE and HOW, and you would be surprised at how these words would turn the exact same sentence around by simply...replacing them.

Fair can also vary to many degrees.
Say, is it fairer for you to have more money than him or her when both put in the same amount of time effort? Sounds familiar? How about this...

Is it fair to be in imprisonment for a crime you did not commit?

I told you this was gonna get ugly. Life is so unfair, isn't it? =p

On to the response bit. Most of the time, we would grow bitter. Or even wallow in self pity. If only...this. If only...that. As if things are gonna be any better just by wishing and sulking in one corner.

The question to be asked instead should be:
What can I do to change this?
How can I make the best out of this?
They don't say action speaks louder than words for nothing, you know.

And of course, the very word mentioned earlier itself; being

CONTENT

Rather than keeping track of negativity, we need to look at the positive aspects of our circumstances. Find it, sleep on it, and improve it. Always look at what you DO have, not focusing too much on what you DON'T. Treasure THESE things but not to the extent you become too possessive and cocky with it, taking care that you do not become too comfortable with your current standings. Take it as an opportunity to grow and better yourself.

See, now fair has taken a new face. It really depends on which side you are looking it at.

P.S. When all else fails, suck it up and live with it. By God's grace you'll get by just fine. ^^
