FAIRLY UNFAIRLY FAIR

'That's not fair!', said the new born child born on the road I used to go to my college on, under a makeshift poor excuse for a home.

'That's not fair!', said another child who was born blind.

'That's not fair!', said the able and qualified employee who never got his chance to work in his/her dream company because the son of Mr. Rich & Famous showed the employee the nameplate outisde his house.

'That's not fair!', said the boy who every time when he tried to find love & understanding, failed and never got the chance to love & be loved.

"Everyone's right!! It is really not fair! What have they done to deserve such a start to their life or to not get a chance to change it? Unfair was supposed to mean wrong, a wrong is supposed to be corrected, right?" I asked.

"Child! I see where you come from. Afterall you get all such notions & concepts through my teachings only. But you fail to understand, never did  I say life is a bed of roses nor did I say life is fair, LIFE IS UNFAIR!! It may be unfair, but it is NOT wrong." He said the last statement with the same innocence of a child as he addresses me. I could only look back at Him with eyes of surprise. 

"So what is it that these people should blame their life on?"

"Destiny." He said.

"What?? That's it?!"

"Yup. Pretty much."

"You know, that's what my friends, relatives & parents too say. I couldn't believe it at times. I thought it has to be something else...."

"Can't help it buddy! That's the way it is & that's why everyone says it."

"But they need a chance...!!"

"And they will get it!" He said and then retracted, "Or maybe not...."

Yes, it's established- Life is not fair and hate it or hate it more, you cannot do anything about it. Accept it and make it a point to steal your chances because you don't always get them. It's destiny! Hah!! Talk about unpredictability!! You need to be lucky and then hard working, committed, determined and true. Just think about this, in your leisure, look back, at your life or others and just see how many questions are left unanswered. There is no answer to them. There just isn't! It was meant to happen is what you say. I find myself at a serious debate over this because I can't seem to disagree with it but I want to. I want to say it's not like I couldn't  do something, I wasn't equipped to do it.

Okay, maybe I am talking nonsense now but it's just that when I look at people and I see how certain things turn out to be for them, and at times when I happen to know them, I can't help but question as to how & why they are where they are despite not being responsible for it. Isn't it surprising that lives are judged and accused without even a full hearing? 

"Well, now can you tell all those people the answer they seek?", He asked.

"No", I said.

"Why?"

"No reason"

"What do you mean by that?"

"You answer all their unanswered questions first, my answer is much simpler", I said.
