I think everyone has heard of the phrase ’life isn’t fair’. Well we’ve heard that said time and again, and I know most of us have even uttered it ourselves. Truthfully speaking, I was that person too (when I was young and ignorant back then). But as I got older, and to a certain extent: wiser! it actually got me thinking on the whole fairness issue. And the more I dug into it, the more I disagree with the whole notion.
Here’s what I have to say. everyone has their own agendas, whether they realise it or not that’s beside the point. And as far as being impartial, I think anyone who thinks that life’s not fair per se; are the ones who are selfish and ignorant themselves. Because (to say the least), if that was ever the case: in actuality life isn’t fair to everyone equally. Am I right or am I right huh? But do you hear every single person on earth screaming it out loud? You tell me! For a fact, these claims are something that is said purely out of selfishness, ignorance and stupidity. The fact is, if you really know your whole purpose in life, and to a larger scale, the purpose of your creation. Then the whole issue wouldn’t even have risen up in the first place. That’s what I believe to be the case.
I know I’m being vague in giving a definitive answer or an explanation to what is actually is the purpose of my existence. That is something you’ll have to look for yourself. But in my humble opinion, if you have it in you, the will to find the answer to the purpose of your existence and creation. I’m sure you yourself would say that: life is fair in all fairness. The fact that you’re alive and breathing right now while reading this, says it all. And like I’ve said previously: everyone has his or her own agenda(s). Right? And when you add selfishness and ignorance into the mix, in regards to the whole issue: well… you do the math. Lest you forget the reason you’re here in the first place, Life will forever be unfair to you.
So to anyone who believes that life has not been fair to you, the real truth is: you’re the ones who have not been fair to life itself. Ironic isn’t it..
I’ll give you a hint: Quran 51:56
"Strange are the ways of a believer for there is good in every affair of his and this is not the case with anyone else except in the case of a believer for if he has an occasion to feel delight he thanks [Allah], thus there is a good for him in it, and if he gets into trouble and shown resignation (and endures it patiently), there is a good for him in it." - Muslim
