Whatever happened to fairness?
"You know, I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe." --J. Michael Straczynski
Special is the moment the spirit can rise above it all and help the mind understand that as long as we are limited by our earthbound vision, we cannot know the full picture and cannot make a judgment as to ultimate fairness. Special is the moment the spirit comes to understand the stumbling blocks placed in our path may really be God's way of repositioning us for a greater purpose--the one which our Heavenly Father has purposed our lives. Special is the moment we realize we don't need to figure anything out for ourselves, "To seek perfection in property or health or character is not a worthy human goal; nor is it a proper cause of pride and glory for people; the knowledge of God is the only true wisdom, and the sole perfection a person should seek." --Maimonides

Jane Mullikin
Like so many of the very young, I had a finely honed sense of fair play. Any thing that happened and was not fair to all had to be corrected immediately. As the years went by, try as I might to hold on to that sense of fair play, reality demonstrated the futility of the aspiration. Accepting the reality that life is not fair, that there's nothing about it that is fair, is a real downer and great are the numbers of sweet spirits that never completely recover from bitterness or cynicism if this harsh reality is driven home too soon.
