It's Hard but It's fair...
for years, I think as many as 25 or maybe more, I've heard my brother use this expression. When he first used it as a high schooler, he was using it as a way to see "I know I'm handsome, athletic, awesome, or whatever, but somebody's got to do it so it's fair that it's me!" However, today when I think about this, and this is coming after living life for 35 years, experiencing ups and downs, losing loved ones, losing out on love and all of the tests that life brings as you grow, I now see this phrase in a completely different LIGHT...
On losing a loved one...
Yes, it's hard when someone very close to you transitions to the other side to be with our Creator. Yes, you are sad, have bouts with loneliness, depression, questions...yet, it is fair. It is fair because death is the road that we ALL have to take. No one can escape death. I don't care how much money a person has they can't prevent their death or their loved ones, nor can they bring someone back for the cost of a shiling.
On losing out on love...
Have you ever heard of a divine partnership? A love that you were meant to endure? Another soul that you were meant to love but only for a certain time? The hard part is not accepting that this isn't your divine and lasting love, the fair part is having had the opportunity to love at all, an opportunity that you and that soul arranged long before you took on your physical bodies The fair part is knowing that all is as it should be and that there are NO mistakes or miscalculations in the Universe.
On being in the place where you are now, which is not where you want to be...
The hard part is that you're unhappy. Your thoughts probably lead to more unhappiness than what is actually going on at the time. The fair part is that you are your own co-creator. Where you are today is the result of past thoughts whether good or not so good.
With that said, today, you can re-write your script. You are you and that is no mistake, no miscalculation...and that my friend is Hard but it's Fair.
In Light & Love...

People with talents say life is hard but it's fair because they are estrang3d for their talents. If I can workout an engineering design problem four times as fast as the next man, or run like lightning, then other men are jealous and won't befriend me, or they just do so out of an expectation that I'll always be a 'winner'. As soon as I'm down, there's none by my side. That's the hard part, it's fair because I won't always be down on my luck, eventually a women will see me work and love me for it, but at last the hard returns and the women ceases to 'feel' me.
