Have it happened in your life that you have thought that life is unfair? There were some incidents that I have encountered that I thought and blame that life is unfair. I was really getting mad at my life then,kept asking why,why me,why do I have to feel it. But then I have overcome that point in my life,it sinks in to me that I'm not the only person who had the biggest problem. Why is it that life can't be perfect. Totally perfect.

I have a question for you. If life was totally perfect, how would you know that it is? Life has challenges because that is what makes life fun. Challenges make you appreciate whatever you have now and also makes you a stronger person. Life is truly unfair. If it weren't then it wouldn't be as enjoyable as it could be. Imagine if you were always happy. How would you then know if you're still happy, if everything is just monotonous. Likewise, how would you know that you are sad, if everything you've felt is sadness? Life being unfiar is needed to keep balance in the world :)

I do not think there is such a thing as a perfect life, and if there is no such thing as a perfect life how can we know what it is.

there is the fact of live, sometime we must be facing a problem. we cant avoid it. any possibilities will overcome, from easy problem to extreme problem. we should belive that when we face the problem, we have the capacity to solve it. we are choosen to face it because we can handle it. believe me. you can do it. show our spirit ! ^_^

When I have a very big problem,after blaming and asking why me,I always end up thinking,that God won't give me that problem. He knew I can overcome it and it will make me a better person. And so,I'll just let it happen,find a solution then thank Him for giving me the courage to solve and overcome it. We share the same thought,I guess. ^_^

I feel like this all the time, but there is nothing I can do about it, so I just have to keep trying to get to where I want to be in life...

yes, life is full of ups and downs. life is not flat all the way. we may encounter some setbacks or turn-and-twists. It is normal and all these twists that make life colorful.so we can learn something and improve ourselves. when you overcome the setbacks and then you can feel the real happiness of life. so no matter what kinds of diffsculties, we need to face them.

Well if I have to look back in my past and actually including my present too, I can say that life is unfair! But then if we try to imagine life to be so perfect without problems at all, I think it would be too boring and I don't want that to happen in my life. Mistakes make us learn and help us grow into a better person. If we're perfect, life on earth is no longer of use, we just have to go to heaven then!

you're right. Mistakes help us grow or help us to be weak. It depends on the person on how he/she handles the difficulties that he's/she's going through. And world isn't really perfect,and we have to accept that for us to go on with our life. Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, it often happened to me too when I start blaming everything and think that life is very unfair. Well, because life isn't perfect, we have to use the imperfectness, to make it perfect

Totally agree with you. Use the imperfectness to make it perfect. I like that! ^_^

Nothing is ever totally perfect. Life would be pretty boring if it were. I would be a pretty unhappy person if that is what I expected. Bad things happen. So do good. We all need to take each with the other.

Perhaps the only way people would think life was fair would be if they never had any problems. Without problems to teach us, we wouldn't be very smart in the end. Sometimes our reaction is to say life isn't fair, however most all problems do get solved and we get over them.

For me it is unfair if you don't think the mind of other business but if you get tired to your self you said it is unfair.

Life has never been fair, and it will never be. I think if life is always been perfect, we will be not be given a chance to grow and be matured. Difficulties make us stronger. Mistakes teach us what is wrong from what is not. Problems make us understand that we are not superior to anyone, and remind us that there is GOD who is able to help us in any struggles. Imperfections make us realize that we are all but human. God will never give us problems that we can/t overcome. If we believe that we are facing problems more complicated than others, be flattered. Because He believes that we are more stronger than others.

I feel this right now. Two people i love most were stricken with illnesses and had to be confined for almost a week. Sometimes life throws us challenges that are really hard. I often think that life is being unfair... and I believe it really is. But i do appreciate the blessings. How I wish life could be more forgiving with it's challenges sometimes. And i do hope these challenges come to pass soon.

Life is indeed unfair. It came to be since the fall of man thru Adam whether you believe it or not, it`s the truth. We are sinful by nature and all the bad things that happen to us are somehow results of man`s carelessness affecting us directly or indirectly. It could be a result of our wrong decisions or if not, from other sources that suddenly came to our lives and cause pains like unexplainable illnesses. Satan is the one behind all these things and he`s disguising himself as a light so we could blame God for the bad things we experience. God allows these things to happen to us to actually draw us closer to Him and know Him and make our dependence on Him because let`s admit it, do we often consult God about the decisions we make? Or we just do it on our own and when something bad happens, we blame God? If life is fair then God has to be fair with us. He could send us all to hell because that`s what we deserve for our sinfulness and disobedience. But God loves us so much that`s why there`s Jesus who finished the work so that our sins might be forgiven and our souls be saved from eternal condemnation. A perfect life will only be experienced in heaven for those who trust in the Lord. Those who hope in the Lord will never be disappointed.

It can be unfair at times. I have had a lot of bad things happen to me, and I'm young. However, I don't look at life that way. I have a vision of how I want my life to be, and nothing is going to stop me from achieving it. If you have a problem with the way your life is, then you should change it. Most people continue to live a life that they don't enjoy. One thing that I find weird is that people always worry about retirement. They think that they have to work until they are 70 years old to retire. However, with the internet, you have the ability to retire when you're 25. People don't take advantage of the opportunities that are available in this generation.

Why life isn't perfect is akin to asking why some girls are short. Yes girls are not tall but you don't have to be tall to be a good girl. Same with life, it does not have to be perfect in order to be content with it.

I do not think of life as being unfair, I always think of it as a set of cards continously being dealt, sometimes you get the good deal and sometimes the bad, if you get the good deal fine, if you get the bad set of cards then make the best of it and figure out a way how to turn it to a win win situation,even bad set of cards has a chance to win so long as you do not surrender.

if life was fair and everthing was perfect do you think you would be happy? I would think the opposite, you would be bored wanting not everything to be perfect just so there could be a little excitement, something to get the adrenalin flowing.
