Whoever Said That Life Is Supposed To Be Fair?

     When I hear folks complain about the 'unfair' aspect of life, I have to imagine that they, have not, as yet, discovered that the nature of our lives, here, on earth, are where our challenges lay...fair, unfair, whatever, it is, that we are destined to experience, is all a part of the 'Master-Plan'. I know that it can be difficult to accept this, and, yes, at times, 'life' does, certainly, bring about, some, terrible, moments, in which we are challenged, and also, will suffer pain. I am not insensitive to this reality, oh, Heaven's no! Contrarily, due to the nature of my state of spiritual-empathy, I am ALWAYS aware of the suffering of others. Here's the thing, though, we all, as humans, experience, similar, difficulties, in our lives. We all know death, sickness, and, otherwise, tragic-occurrences, with these, things, being the MOST challenging of all. When going through moments, as these, I find it imperative to cling to God, and, to hold on hope, that, although, I may be facing a, momentous, 'task', it is for a 'Greater-Purpose'. If faith-filled, often, our faith is 'tested', by and through these, most, trying-events. Yet, when we know, that, through suffering, we can grow, if we can accept that this is what our physical-reality is for, life may not appear so cruel and unfair, after all. Our lives here are temporary. This is where we experience difficulty, hardship, pain and suffering. In my, personal, opinion, THIS is HELL. However, it is, also, a beautiful, wondrous, place to be; And, this, the GREATEST challenge of all...being able to recognize this, fact, despite all the horrible 'stuff' that we face, while here. Just Sayin'...
