Had a teacher in high school who would automatically lower us a half letter grade if we said "it's not fair" and I really have grown to appreciate his philosophy. That's a "bad word" in my house. We don't say it. I guess if I start allowing myself to see the world in terms of fairness, it would be (even more) difficult for me to get out of bed in the morning.Laniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15438241075767655180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940532301117802640.post-36112621267713377922010-07-22T21:41:49.376-06:002010-07-22T21:41:49.376-06:00This post is absolutely beautiful - and something ...This post is absolutely beautiful - and something we forget so easily! There are a million people you can look at and list off all the reasons why their life is better, easier, luckier than yours. But a million people could do the same about yours. <br /><br />A friend used to say that "a challenge is simply a chance for you to grow stronger". She's one of those optimistic types that almost always turns what might be a negative, "why me!?" situations into a chance to prove herself. <br /><br />Nothing is ever fair. We just need to remember and accept that - and realize that there are times when we benefit from that unfairness. :)Daniellehttp://thejourneytofit.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940532301117802640.post-65502686805706576442010-07-22T21:10:23.958-06:002010-07-22T21:10:23.958-06:00I always thought it was unfair that my calves are ...I always thought it was unfair that my calves are huge. No matter what size I've been, I have these big muscular calves. Then some guy once told me "I wish I had calves like yours, that's so unfair!" Now, I can't say that I am proud of my man calves. But I can say that I am proud of how they look in these hot new heels I bought this weekend! ;) <br /><br />I think it comes down to focusing on what you are thankful for. The grass is always greener, but there can also be some nasty grub worms under that perfect looking yard. <br /><br />Oh. And I think it's not fair that your hair looks so cute in braids in all your pictures from your 5Ks...and that you can show your teeth when you smile without looking like a moron (I SO cannot do that!) :)Amy Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14347143994861783676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940532301117802640.post-76007927627913415222010-07-22T17:18:40.773-06:002010-07-22T17:18:40.773-06:00I LOVE that I'm following you so I can read ne...I LOVE that I'm following you so I can read neat-o posts like this one!<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />And I love that you have a fivehead because I have a twohead and have always wanted a bigger forehead so I can have bangs. *Sigh* I love bangs!

Great Job,...Your best friend sounds just like mine! Great Job, great fiance with a great job, pretty, but she couldn't have kids either. She was told 8 years ago she would never be able to get pregnant. BUT now she is! (complete shock for her) So maybe there's hope for her yet! <br /><br />I love this post. You are so right. I always have lived by "It Could ALWAYS Be Worse." That helps most of the times. I never compare myself to her, to depressing LOL. <br /><br />BUT you have such a valid point. If I think about it, even though some people have everything I wish I did... I am lucky in OTHER ways. I'm going to try really hard to remember this.

Yeah, we're awesome.<br /><br />Second, your comment about "reasonably attractive"...OMG, you are the cutest thing ever. I'm serious! Your smile is awesome and those cheekbones are wonderful. :) And you have great hair. I think those are the three things I really, really love about myself, too...<br /><br />And no, nothing's fair. But really, life would suck if we didn't have those moments of sadness to compare our relative happiness to. Seriously, if we always had an average day or average life, what would be the point? No highs, no lows. Boring. I'd rather have lived to the fullest and died instead of just being from day to day. Carpe diem, I guess?Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961795803297359233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940532301117802640.post-54126966545071287882010-07-22T13:27:32.885-06:002010-07-22T13:27:32.885-06:00A fivehead!!!!

One day you're in and then next, you're out.<br /><br />When we accept that life is all that it is -- crap & ice cream, fairness doesn't even come into it.Levihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07369763028982948026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940532301117802640.post-71780213356024469682010-07-22T12:16:33.181-06:002010-07-22T12:16:33.181-06:00Wow!

When I would complain to my mom growing up that something she did to me wasn't fair, she always responded that "Life isn't fair." I like that you remind us to look at the good parts of our lives too. It is all too easy to focus on the other "unfair" pieces. And it is also a great reminder that when we look at anyone else and envy their life, we never know what sadness or misery they might be hiding.Karen@WaistingTimehttp://www.waistingtimeblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940532301117802640.post-61841198104693943522010-07-22T11:27:19.677-06:002010-07-22T11:27:19.677-06:00Wow!

It's not fair that my dad, who will have nothing to do with me now, but when he did, chose to say really mean and hurtful things is now spying on me by reading what I blog every day. It is really hard to say what I want when I know he's just digging for dirt to use against me later!<br /><br />I always look at it this way, "It's not fair that I have gorgeous blue eyes and long elegant fingers to people who don't have those things! But, if they want my eyes and hands, they have to take my crooked hips and big arse as well!" :DAuntie Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05341186273835771182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940532301117802640.post-27610535610310906742010-07-22T10:21:34.478-06:002010-07-22T10:21:34.478-06:00I liked your post today.

Life isn't fair. And comparing yourself to others is a dangerous road to go down. Because we, as humans, see all the good that other people have. It's hard for us to see the "bad." And bad is a relative term... What's bad to us, may not be bad to others. <br /><br />It's always good to say to yourself.. so what if I don't have everything I want, if life isn't fair... Look for the good, because if you look hard enough, you'll find it! <br /><br />:)Jamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738443161419733382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940532301117802640.post-3355242277779176582010-07-22T09:46:39.494-06:002010-07-22T09:46:39.494-06:00my post today too was about perspective!
