"Life Is Unfair"

..the above quote is a commonly used catch phrase, as you all may know. Well, in my opinion it's some b.s. It's a mediocre excuse for fearful and lazy people to take the easy way out--in order to escape from their problems or to turn the other cheek away from an unfair situation. Anyone who would allow an unfair situation to perpetuate itself, instead of doing what's right and correcting it, loses respect from me. They should not only do it for themselves, but for others who might end up in the same circumstances in the future. It's much easier to let injustice continue, than to take the more difficult route towards change...

[disclaimer: this does not apply to people who are truly subject to unfair situations. Ex: oppressed women in afghanistan, or orphans in Darfur]

...imagine where we'd be if these people said, "Life is Unfair."...

Thank God they didn't. Neither should we.
