People complain that life&#039;s unfair. I know it&#039;s true, but I&#039;m actually trying to grasp the concept that life really isn&#039;t fair. Honestly, it&#039;s too fair. We should be grateful we&#039;re not dealt the life we truly deserve. We don&#039;t even know fair. We&#039;ve never even experienced it. People just always want things better than what they have at the moment and they will keep saying it&#039;s not fair until they get it. But if you&#039;re always wanting more, then your &quot;fair&quot; will never come.
