life is unfair.but really?
i have a grand plan to find unfairness. but so far, i have been quite downtrodden from my search. there is no unfairness in life, because the God who created it is a fair God. yes, that is my conclusion after struggling 19 long years with a puberscent and hormonal outrage with the life-is-unfair theory.
you see, we never see truly perfect people.
if you are intelligent, you are probably not very good looking.
if you are popular and well-liked, you are probably not very smart.
if you are tall and skinny, you probably have a funny voice.
if you are kind-hearted, you are probably quite short.
if you are talented, you are probably pimply.
if you are eloquent, you are probably a poor and broke person.
mix and match any of the above and it end up in the same old sad story that we are never perfect. well, that for me, is a good thing. because we know that nobody can claim that he/she is free from flaws. so, this gives me the incentive to accept my flaws and KNOW that God is making up with something good in me.
this is seriously going to sound like some adamkhoowantstomotivateyou kind of entry; but i feel that many a times, we should also deliberately filter our positive traits and to keep looking at it when things get bad, when people start failing you and when life just simply, stinks. there are really times when we need to know that we are not that bad in fact. maybe this is what they call 'accepting' yourself. cliche yes, but that is really what i try to do when i feel lousy.
i am flawed, but i think i am not that bad too.
life definitely looks a lot fairer like that, right?
