Why do bad things happen to us? Are we just UNLUCKY? Is It KARMA? Are we facing it because of chance? A lot of people couldn't really answer this question straight forward. We try to figure out what it is but couldn't AS for me I don't think life is unfair, it's the randomness of things and how they happen. I know that we could find a lot of things to do and make it worthwhile.. Let's just MOVE FORWARD!"Adelante"

I know what you mean. Some people have it better, some have it worst. Some good people have bad luck at times, and those bad ones go through unscathed. Life is a big mystery in that sense, but what I do know is that patience come to those whom wait and work hard for it. Of course luck plays a part too, and I like your stance on moving forward. I think that's a very good advice. From what I personally feel, there are lots of life's challenges that we have to go through. Try solving them step by step and if it works out, it works out. If not, think of another way or just move on..

When we have a clear understanding of our purpose here on earth, then we could easily understand why do we experience things in this world.There is opposition in all things for us to learn how to use our freedom of choice properly.Life is unfair for those who focus only on the difficulties and challenges in life and not to appreciate the small and simple things or other great blessings that are given to us.Stephen Covey, the author of Seven Habits of Effective People once said,"we should be proactive and not reactive to whatever circumstances we are in."It's not easy to apply this but as I teach myself not to think negatively in this life's probation, I don't have in my mind that life is unfair.There maybe instance that our life is not going smoothly but there's a purpose of it.However, most of the time,the bad things that are happening in our lives are usually the product of our decision in the past.You're right that we could find a lot of things to do.Life is so short so focus on the good things we can do in this life, be strong to challenges and continue to aim for success.When one has a good perspective in life regardless of giant and tremendous challenges in life then he will never think that life is unfair.Have a wonderful day!

YOur the second person who made me smile in this post. I really do admire how you defined life and how we face it. I just realized that it is also because of the decisions that we made in the past. thank you for that.I wouldn't have thought of that.Having a purpose is also a good way in explaining what is happening around us. I'm very inspired by your wise words. I really am grateful.

I think life is what you make it. You can change things any time you want, by making different choices in the things we do. If we think and plan we can have a good life. It is all in What we want it to be.

Hello yresh12, Me personally. I do beleive in fate. I beleive everything happens for a reason. Thats its suppose to. Good things , bad things I think its fate. We could spend all our lives trying to figure it out, and never get an answer. So, is life unfair? at times. but, that is life right?

Yes, this is life. It's how we react and solve what problems may come. It's fate because in the process we could meet other people to teach us more about life and inspire other people of the things that we have done.
