Moderators Travis In Austin Posted August 15, 2015 Moderators Share Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) Another one from Rich Carlson: “One of the mistakes many of us make is that we feel sorry for ourselves, or for others, thinking that life should be fair, or that someday it will be. It’s not and it won’t. When we make this mistake we tend to spend a lot of time wallowing and/or complaining about what’s wrong with life. “It’s not fair,” we complain, not realizing that, perhaps, it was never intended to be fair."

Moderators dtel Posted August 16, 2015 Moderators Share Posted August 16, 2015 I waffle between Karma and Shit happens. Yes, for me that covers about 99%, the other 1% is when you think it's bad but you are grateful in the long run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebes Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 thinking that life should be fair, or that someday it will be Life may not always be fair, but many times it is. Even if you believe it isn't fair, that shouldn't stop you, or others, from striving to make it that way. Sometimes good things happen all at once through cataclysmic events and movements. Many times it's just incremental, the result of common goals, ideals, sometimes through enforcement of those standards, and sometimes just individuals deciding things should be better.

Jim Naseum Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 There are people with a rating of 100 on the log power scale, and people with a rating of 1. They all walk around in the same world. So obviously, fairness is not even a remotely logical idea! LOL Pick up a bat, and see if you can get a hit off a Chapman fastball. Then, after that, talk about fairness in life. LOL!!

Moderators Travis In Austin Posted August 19, 2015 Author Moderators Share Posted August 19, 2015 Words like "freedom," "justice," "democracy" are not common concepts; on the contrary, they are rare. People are not born knowing what these are. It takes enormous and, above all, individual effort to arrive at the respect for other people that these words imply. ~ James Baldwin ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
