IT AIN'T WHAT YOU EAT,IT'S THE WAY HOW YOU CHEW IT

Do you think life is fair? Well, I don't! Maybe fair is only in the eye of the beholder but Ive seen time and time again things that just don't sit too well with my sense of fairness. Why do good people get taken advantage of by those who just dont give a damn about anyone else but themselves? Why do people who treat others in a fair and unbiased way get trampled on by egotistical people who think they are always right? Why do people who place their complete trust in others to do the right thing get knocked down to the ground repeatedly? Why do law abiding peaceful folks fall prey to the thugs who rob cheat and steal? Why do so called businessmen that cheat their customers get away with it while the customer is the one who suffers? Why do the thieves and cheats live a life filled with riches while the honest man barely gets by? I sure don't have the answers to these questions and doubt if you do either. But one thing I do know is no matter what others throw into our lives it is entirely up to us as to how we "chew and digest" those things. Shall we allow them to turn us into a bitter person who just withdraws from society and become a crusty old fart or do we continue to treat others as we want to be treated and even when we get shafted have enough courage and love inside our hearts to forgive and continue to try and be the very best human being we can? That choice is the one that will either help us to grow in Spirit or to become just one more "victim" of life's circumstances. My hope and wish for each of you wonderful people is that you will always be able to call upon that inner strength when "bad" things happen and that you will continue to be a kind caring and loving person who brings sunshine into this often times darkened world. Keep the faith no matter how many times you see injustices and remember It ain't what you eat, its the way how you chew it. "HUGS" to all!

Justice is created by the human mind is therefore subject to and conditioned by it, the reality is what it is and the truth is what it is.
Mind are thoughts in a world without humans, how would the justice?

Hey Cap! It's true..life isn't fair, but if we allow our selves to become twisted and bitter, then we are robbing ourselves of a happy life, you're right about that...and you know, sometimes life is fair! Like, right now I have an okay job, a nice little apartment, a great old cat,a beautiful family and freedom to (mostly) do what I want...I think that's fair! lol! I love your expression, "It ain't what you eat, it's how you chew it." That's awesome!

Namaste brother Ron. I enjoyed this post. I feel the most important question we need ask is.

What is my higher self trying to teach me with this lesson?

Many people comprehend they are the actor in the play. Few understand they are also the script writer.

We search to project blame,instead of asking; what is there to learn?


In Lak' ech, love is all there is...
