Is Life Unfair

Is it?

I don't know.. I won't say..

I will just tell you a story…

Let’s say there is a person X.

X moved to a new city, when he was just 5 years old, just because his parents were forced to.

X spent his childhood in an atmosphere, with no neighbors, just he and his younger brother, no people, no friends.

X silently observed his parents struggling daily.. almost daily.. for money, basic necessities.. struggling hard! Parents never let X have any hardship, even when they were stressed. But X silently observed..

X never saw any people or relatives helping his parents, and that saddened X and turned him into introverted even more. X felt everything too hard. X turned into a person who liked to be ALONE.

X never really liked people, and always felt uncomfortable, agitated, rebel or scared among people. People started to de-energize X. X started running from people.

People make FUN, People judge, and People leave you in bad times. So, X developed a nature to stay away from people. X had only few people he felt comfortable with.

X was diagnosed with some deadly disease, making him unconscious, and X used to have terrible headaches to the extremes, felt like dealing death. Still have those sometimes. X suffered..and survived.

X liked someone, felt a strong connect.. a very soulful one.. and started giving himself to that feeling.. and suddenly X was separated from her before he could realize ( and he craves.. still craves.. for her.. tried to find her.. but will never ever be able to see her).

IT's LIFE.. IT's OK..

X lost his brother.. an elder brother.. one of the few people X loved.. and have really imagined his future with.. X was lost.. devastated.. in pain.. X was in hell.. X took 2 years to get back to LIFE..

X experienced People... their reaction in BAD TIMES.. X started Hating People.

X had some friends.. he thought could be his true friends.. they betrayed.. took him for granted..!!

X’s only solace.. was his younger brother.. and his daughter like niece.. X loved her very much. Just like he loved his brother. X used to visit her regularly, had seen him growing old from infant to 7 years old girl. Now X hardly finds opportunity to meet her, she is growing old and X feels helpless.

X started liking someone.. who is very pious and kind.. and ought to lose her.. as she is truly committed to someone else.. He will be left heartbroken again.

Finally, X made some friends.. whom he could call friends.. BEST FRIENDS.. TRUE FRIENDS.. that were part of LIFE for him.. X loved them very much.. might not tell them.. owed LIFE to them. And they got separated. X missed them terribly.

Now,

X is separated.. from family.. from his brother.. from his friends.. and from his daughter.. or niece..

And has lost his brother he loved… and lost someone he felt deep connection with.. twice!!

Is it UNFAIR??

IS IT??

No, it is not….

Let’s have a look at other aspect of the story..

With each going day, the living condition of X and his family improved.. they had struggle.. but that made them better.

X might have never liked people, but there were some who helped at the time of distress.. X got such nice people for LIFETIME.! A very big GAIN.

X may have lost his brother.. but got a daughter and that LOVE back in NIECE…

X never had friends.. or some might took him for granted.. BUT at end, he got most beautiful people, as his friends.. friends worth making efforts for.. They may not be at same place.. but are connected!! Better LATE than NEVER!

X might have lost the person he LOVED.. but he had felt that LOVE.. and still has that LOVE within him.. and that feeling have improved him as a person!

X suffered and survived.. but that made him stronger.. Hard times didn’t bitter him.. but turned him into a better and helpful person.

X has JOB, will be earning money, and even before that.. he knows the value of struggle.. hardship.. LOVE.. friendship.

X is man with better character… and can truly respect people, humanity and can help them… as he values HUMANITY, LOVE, LIFE, RELATIONS, FRIENDSHIP more.

X is now more STRONGER, FAITHFUL, HELPFUL and a better student of LIFE.

LIFE is LIFE… It’s nothing like fair or unfair..

It’s our expectations.. that makes it fair or unfair.

I do agree that many times.. LIFE seems unfair..

Because we are looking at only one side of the story.

Life is only 10% what is given to us.. And 90% is our RESPONSE to it.

Even after some unfairness, our response forms the larger part of our LIFE.

LIFE is how you wanna see it.. Fair or Unfair is just a judgement!!
