no fair.

Let me preface this with... nothing bad has happened .. not to me personally.  I just need to vent on the obvious for a minute.  So feel free to tune out now. 

Life is not fair.  I know that.  Most of the time it doesn't bother me.  It's life.  Can't change that.  Just part of the experience.  My life's chosen profession is surrounded by the unfair in life and honestly most days I don't bat an eye.  I go home and don't think twice about it.  I think it is a gift that allows me to do what I do.  But sometimes... every once in a little while I am reminded of how really unfair things can be... or at least seem.  Bad things happen to good people and good things happen to bad people.  I'm a firm believer that there is a consequence for every choice and some of those are immediate and some are not.  It's just that sometimes I have a mortal view and a self centered view.  And I get a case of the blahs and the boo hisses.  And I just want to choke life and make it right for others who deserve only every goodness life has to offer.  But then I remember that we can't experience joy without sorrow.  And so while I want to give sorrow a swift kick in the pants there is a part of me that is grateful for the struggle it brings, knowing the other side of sorrow is peace.
