And soon it is neither here nor there whether time's rewards are fair or unfair . . .

Life isn't fair. This is a lesson we've all learned the hard way. Whether it was sneaking out of the house as a teenager or watching a close friend or family member suffer, we all have experiences with life being unfair. And unfairness is one of those things you think would go away with time. As the years pass by, I can't help but notice that life is still unfair. It's as unfair as it was when I was three and didn't get the Barbi I wanted. Life, now, is just unfair in different ways, and even if I don't personally feel the unfairness, I can see it all around me- at work, at home, in my relationships. Will the unfairness ever go away? No, I don't think so. So how does one cope with this bar set against them? Is it possible that some people always ream the benefits while others don't even get a fighting chance? What's fair about that? Is it a matter of luck? I mean, does anyone believe in luck anymore, or for that matter kharma? Maybe "fair" and "unfair" are just relative terms and only possess meaning when you put weight on them. Do we get things to balance out the fair and unfair? I can't help but wonder, is there a place where fair is neither here nor there or are we stuck within the confides of fair and unfair forever?
