Life Is Not Fair. So?

Inequitable. Life is full of inequitability. In its simplest form, not everybody is created equal. Sure, we all deserve the same inalienable rights. But, let's not pretend we are all equal. I know I don't have Einstein's IQ or Oprah's talents. My children are sharp and good looking, but there are always going to be other children smarter and better looking. That's reality. Life isn't simple, is it? Life, everything about it, is complex. I am not even going to pretend that I am a "the cup is half full" kind of gal. If I want to be positive, an optimist if you will, it has to be by choice. I would need to consciously work hard at it. Some people are born with a cheery disposition and outlook. My mom is one of those people. I envy her. However, I'm not entitled to a positive attitude or anything else for that matter. Somewhere along the lines, people began to tie a sense of equitability to a sense of entitlement. I believe that's when we had a collective paradigm shift, and all shit hit the fan. If people who don't work think they are entitled to the same luxuries and do-dads as those that do work, there is something wrong with our collective conscience. Ultimately, this kind of entitled thinking will be our downfall. It's a difficult pill to swallow, but the playing field of life is not even or fair. So what? Everyone still has to show up and play. And, play fiercely. Play like you want to win!
