But the fact is, life ISN'T fair, strictly speaking. We are not born equal, we do not have the same advantages, we do not experience the same ups and downs. This is something adults must come to understand and accept if we are to live happy, healthy lives.
Bad people will abuse you and face no punishment. Your own efforts will go unappreciated by those you struggle so valiantly to aid. And every step of the way, your judgement of who deserves what will be utterly disregarded by the universe at large.
But none of this excuses us. If we are to live on this planet, we must play the hand we are dealt and make the very best of what comes. not only will your complaints not fix your problems, they serve only to tie you down further, and alienate those who might otherwise be your allies in the struggle.
No matter what advantages you have, if you cannot accept the fact that some things will be forever denied to you, and that there is no cosmic conspiracy against you, you CANNOT be happy in this life.
Thus, the sooner you learn to accept life, not as fair or unfair, but simply as how it actually is, the sooner you can become a well adjusted adult capable of experiencing life to the fullest.
And that is why I DON'T CARE THAT YOUR BROTHER TOOK IT FROM YOU WHEN YOU WERE PLAYING WITH IT FIRST, GIVE HIM THE FUCKING TOY RIGHT NOW SO THAT HE WILL STOP THAT GOD-FORSAKEN CATERWAULING!!!!!!
And welcome to the adult world sweetie, where 'quiet' trumps fairness seven days a week.
