We’ve all been hurt by someone or have found ourselves on the short end of some situation. And when treated unfairly, there’s a natural tendency to want to right the wrong or level the playing field, so to speak.

One of the hardest things to accept about life is that some circumstances will stay unresolved – and that, in and of itself – is a resolution. So we should all do ourselves a favor and stop trying to extract fairness from a world that never claimed to be – or had a history of being fair. There’s simply no way to attain justice without outside cooperation.

We can however seek relief independently, through faith, therapy, fitness, spirituality. Or generosity and giving of ourselves.
