When did you learn that life wasn't fair?

Is it something a kid should learn earlier rather than later?

The time I didn't get my Easter trainers.

Sardonicat · 31-03-2019 07:24PM

Some people never learn it.

I dont really think I have yet. Im 21.

When Santa brought fat Ger one of those 12V electric cars you sit in while the rest of us got tricycles.

I'm not sure. I think I always had a sense of life being challenging at times. There isn't one single incident that stands out as telling me "Persepoly this world can be unfair".

When I voted NO to the Lisbon and Nice treaties but they ran the vote again to get the "right" result.

When that bitch of a mother pushed me out.

Didn't realise the text was changed specificially to address Irish concerns?

Was diagnosed with Psoriasis at around age 6. I was the only 1 of 6 kids to inherit the condition. 5 elder siblings all dodged that particular bullet.

That's the way they sold the revote, funny they only happen when it doesn't go the EU way...

When Daphne died in Neighbours.

It is fair. You get out what you put in.

Some have disadvantages that make it more to incredibly difficult to achieve the same result as someone else.

When little foot's mother died after the run in with the t-rex in the land before time.

Why would they change it again if they got their way the first time?

When we live in such a mundane world without magic or space travel.

Childhood ruined!

They didn't change a word in either treaty.

One of my favourite songs of all time.

To those of us who knew the pain
Of valentines that never came
And those whose names were never called
When choosing sides for basketball

Apologies, the Irish got concessions which addressed the main concerns people had about neutrality, tax and abortion I think.

But to say it was exactly the same is incorrect.

Your Face · 31-03-2019 08:23PM

I don't look at life as either fair or unfair.
It's indifferent to what I think or feel.

The "concessions" were BS just look at our neutrality now.

About 3 years ago.

Despite my best efforts, it all amounted to basically nothing.

Lesson learned though, this life is full of harsh lessons when-either you like it or not.

Life is suffering.
Every philosophy and religion has that at the core
Everyone has disadvantages. Some seen, some unseen, some economical, some medical.
I like the old idea of - treat every single person you meet with a smile and respect because you have no idea what battle they are going through in their personal life.

Too much time is spent on trying to compare and rank each other disadvantages and it just becomes resentful but - comparison is the theft of joy. Best to appreciate that we are ALL silently suffering in some way shape or form and be kind to each other.

When I realised dogs(or cats) don't live as long as us.
