Has Life Been So Unfair To You?
Was there a time when you ask God or the universe why life is so unfair? Are you drowning with challenges lately? Or are you dealing with problems all throughout the years and it feels like there are never-ending obstacles to face within your entire life?
Honestly, I felt that back in 2019. I was drowned with the negativities and I gave up. It seemed to me that life is so unfair. Why am I suffering? Why do other people succeed and what about me? Will my life be like this forever?
Years after, I accepted the fact that life is unfair. It truly is a difficult truth.
Some are born rich, others are born poor. Some are born tall, others are born short. Some are born physically cute and healthy, others are born with deformities and disabilities. Some are born with a happy family, others are born with problematic ones.
You see, I have never witnessed a situation in a society where random people are grouped and they all looked like the same. From the color, height, body figures, personalities, IQ level, and all of those aspects. We are different in our own ways.
As you reflect on yourselves, I'm sure you questioned God or the universe why do I have a life like this? Do I deserve this?
I questioned God these things:
Lord, I'm a good person. To my recall, I have never wronged a person that worse, I try my best to conform to the rules and values a person must do, but why do I have to go through pain and suffering?
I compared myself to the people whom I thought I am better than them, I compared my abilities to them but they're successful and I'm not. Things like that made me question him.
When you know in yourself that you tried so hard to achieve the things you want to do but fate is just too cruel not allowing you to succeed. What's worse is that those a**holes who do bad things, hypocrisy, greed, manipulations, straight-up connections, and other sorts are the ones enjoying their lives.
While those who have pure hearts, with clear intentions of living life following God are the ones suffering the most? Just how unfair life is? The reason why we have these thoughts is that we compare ourselves to others. How can we not, right?
You can't just say to a person that it's okay when they have been exhausting all their efforts to progress but opportunities and people taking advantage of the situations are making fun out of it.
Then again, there are times when we are showered with blessings too. It's just that life is full of surprises. Sometimes, life doesn't match our expectations and desires. We have to go through disappointments and frustrations for us to realize that some things are not meant for us.
So the question here is, how do we deal with this?
Acceptance.
Sad truth but it is what it is. There are so many things we would want to change into this world. We are praying for world peace, and goodness in every soul we encounter everywhere but it's sad to accept that it's not going to happen. Unless a miracle happens and cleanses our hearts with kindness.
Mental resistance.
While others may give up on the idea that life is still good, it is best to recognize the blessings we have received in our lives. The main issue why we have this wishful thinking is that we keep comparing ourselves to other people.
We go through various situations and challenges every day. I believe that through these, we learn to accept the fact that things don't always go in our ways. We make choices every day and it's up to us how we manage our lives.
There may be negative situations we go through, it's best to take this opportunity to learn from it. Still, there are many things to be grateful for and we just have to pay attention to them. We mostly take them for granted and we fail to recognize that,
No situation is perfect.
Thanks for reading.
Keep safe everyone!
