Why is life so unfair?

Hi friend, how are you.l I have been reading your discussion and mostly I found that you are always depressed and sad. I am your friend and so I am not going to pity you and make things worse for you, but I will tell to please be more optimist, appreciate things with which God has blessed you and don't keep always thinking about thing you don't have. You remember the story, where a man was sad because he had no good shoes untill he saw man without legs.....you have been lucky in many ways, you have been loved in many ways, but you have to change you attitude and look at things more differently. Be happy, be active, be full of life, why always negative feelings. Life is short, try to enjoy. Everything is in your own hands, if you will make your life heaven it will be heaven, but if you will continue like this, it will be just like hell. so change you thinking. Next time I want some nice discussion from you. Now smile and take care.

I've found your statement only to be too true all my life, and it gets worse the older you get. Everyone treats you as a worn out umbrella incapable of doing anything. The Bible tells us to lay up treasures in Heaven instead of on earth, and that things will be evened out in the end. I try to hang onto that thought, but this life can be really discouraging.

haha vent away my friend. Life luck chance destiny fate all are used to explain random events. We all treat people badly and I feel this is the root of the problem. It is not that life is unfair but rather people who are unfair to each other, but this is casual and random. If we try to be kind to each other we find random unfairness loses its sting. Sorry if i ramble, but i hope you get my point blessed be

That's like apologizing for being born in the country of your birth. That is not fair to millions that live in conditions that we would condsider unfit to keep animals in. As far as being used....many people teach others to use them. If I let my husband drop his things all over the house and I go around picking up after him, I am teaching him its okay to do that and I will pick up after him. He now would expect this behavior. However, if I put my foot down and say "Mister, go back and pick up those clothes." He learns not to continue his behavior. I know the example is over a trivial matter, but I do not know what the circumstances were that lead you to write this post. Try and apply the theory to your problem. If you were just venting.........yes I do agree with your statement, but people still need to stand up for themselves and show their self worth.

I completely understand your frustration. I'm also sick of this differentiation. Life is indeed unfair. But, when I see people who are less unfortunate than me, it makes me feel better realizing that my life is better off than lots of other people.

I am sorry you are having a bad day. I feel like that most of the time. I know what you mean about some seem to have everything, and no problems. My whole life has been nothing but problems, and it gets worse with every year. The last 10 years have been awful. I had a hysterectomy, lost my home, my job, was diagnosed with MS, and lost my dad. Now with the MS, and all the meds I have other health issues, which require me taking other meds. I now take depression meds because it has become to difficult at times. I don't understand the injustice of being slammed with one thing after another, and then others have it so easy.

chillout,I still love you even if you are an umbrella, does that make me a spare tyre?

You are definitely right in saying that life can be very unfair. I have felt this way many times in my life but have accepted the fact that life is not always fair and we just have to deal with it and go on. I have felt like a spare tire and umbrella with some of my so called friends here locally. Some people get the royal treatment because they must have done something extraordinary to get that kind of attention. I try not to worry about it too much.

I understand and lately Ive been feeling like a spare tire. So I do know the feeling my friend. But you know what they say when it gets tough the tough get going. So come on we have to pick our selves up and start all over again. Hugs to you

Woooah! This is not like you hopeful28! I give you a long range cuddle with hugs and kisses from your old wrinkly friend smacksman to cheer you up. Remember the very true saying ... 'Many a good tune is played on an old fiddle' and you, my dear, are a Stradivarius!!

Yes life can be very unfair it seems some people are loved and feel wanted while others are left out in the cold, but to receive love you have to give love and then it will come to you, you have to mix in with the right people and even if it is just a friend you may end up finding the right person for yourself.

I understand where you are coming from with this and it is definately unfair. I also try to do the best that i can in being a good person and i always seem to get the s**t end of the stick. I guess we will be rewarde by the good Lord when we return home someday!

Sometimes you have to stand up for yourself. LIfe is YOURS, if you sit back and expect things to happen, they won't. You have to take action. If someone treats you poorly, don't allow them into your life. If you feel cheated r unloved - go out there and take charge of YOUR life to make it better. No one can do that for you.

That's life. I know it sounds like it shouldn't be, but it is because there are so many people in this world with huge ego's and completely the wrong attitude to life. A lot of people don't see what is really important in life. Personally, I think you should treat others they way you would like to be treated yourself. I believe in karma, and I think that every action has a consequence on your life, and your future lives. Love and light.

Because Hopeful that is how Life is and there is nothing we can do about it. I gues you are going through a bad time at the Moment and I am so sorry about that. I hope things are ok now.

Everyone has his fair share of emptiness, the pockets of the poor is empty of money, the pockets of the rich is empty of peace. Even King Solomon who has all the things he can posses still declares, vanity of vanities, all is vanity. Life is unfair because unrighteousness reigns on earth, but even if there is equality, man will still be dissatisfied without God as his content and joy. Only when Christ returns will righteousness reigns and eternal satisfaction comes.

I totally agree...It seems like no matter what some people do they get everything they ever wanted and others try so hard and no matter what they are always kick down...

u r right about this, i m also sick of all this relatives that only want to use me but if i need a help than nobody is with me so why i m going to help thim why

I think that people treat you the way you allow urself to be treated. Be respectful, show respect and you get respect back. The important thing is not to be a pushover. People take advantage of pushovers who are unable to say no to anything. Learn how to say no and respect yourself and the rest will follow.

You are being mistreated because they're not your friends...so what you should do make so many friends...and make it grow...as grows...these people will love you and care for you and they will be looking after you to ensure that you are not being hurt...so start doing it now before it is too late honey..
