INDEED LIFE ISN'T FAIR AND IT WILL NEVER BE (PART 2)

One day squirrel, hare and eagle used to be very good friends. They
used to live together, go out together and did everything together.
Everyone had his own duties to ensure their lives run effectively,
squirrel's duty was to go and collect firewood for cooking, eagle's
duty was to go and fetch water, while cooking was hare's mandate.

One day, squirrel thought to himself "This work I am doing is too much
for me. I cant be carrying these bunches of firewood alone while hare
is sitting down and cooking". Eagle also thought in the same way. So
the three friends had a meeting and decided to swap responsibilities.
Squirrel said he would like to be cooking, eagle said collecting
firewood was his interest while hare was contended with his new job of
fetching water.

As soon as they had shifted to their new duties, their friendship and
lives were closely coming to an end. Eagle found it was hard for him
to cut the firewood and he was risking his life, so one day a tree
fell on him and he died. Squirrel found it was risking for him to
cook, due to that, he fell into a soup that he was stirring and died.
Hare drowned as he was trying to lift a bucket of water.

Many are times where we wish to be someone else other than ourselves.
The reason for that, is because we want live the luxurious, happy
social life the other person is living not knowing that we cant fit in
their shoe.

As I said life is not fair and it will never be, it is the whole truth
because not everyone will be given the same challenge in life. But the
common denominator is that whether you like it or not, everyone must
face challenges in day-to-day basis. Though the challenges might be
different, they are of equal magnitude.

So before you wish to be someone else, ask yourself can you fit in
his/her shoes?

INDEED LIFE ISN'T FAIR AND WILL AND WILL NEVER BE

Early last week, I was in a chemistry class and I was learning about
bonding. Bonding is a process whereby elements react with other
elements to form compounds. For example, Sodium reacts with Chlorine
to form Sodium Chloride which is the normal salt that we use on daily
basis.

There are three main types of bonding, Covalent, Ionic and Metallic.
But today my main focus is on Ionic bonding, this type of bonding is
whereby electrons are transferred from one atom to another in order to
gain stability, thus means one atom has to lose electrons in the outer
energy level, so that the other atom gains them.

If that is not unfairness, I don't know what it is. Because how can
Sodium which has eleven electrons lose the outer electron, so that
Chlorine which has seventeen electrons gains it.

Indeed as the holy book says "The one who has a little, even that a
little will be taken away". That is the sweetness of life! Because if
it wasn't fair, for sure it would boring. Just imagine if everybody
had everything they wanted, we would even be anti social, after all we
have everything.

Life is unfair in the sense that everyone has his/her unique talent
which I term as 'unfair advantage'. The reason why I call it that is
because what am able to do, is not necessary you know how to do it. I
may be good in business, which you are not. You may be excellent at
law, for which I'm not! That right there is unfair advantage. What
does that imply? It implies that we need each other and no human being
can stand alone! You may need something which I have and I may also
need something which you have.

We have all agreed everyone has an unfair advantage, so what are we
supposed to do with it? We need to maximize it to the fullest. If you
love music, do it with all passion. If it is swimming, swim as you
will never swim again. Do what you are passionate about with all your
might, and eventually you will succeed!
