Life Is Not Fair

Life guarantees a chance - not a fair shake.
--Bernie Y.

Life is not fair.
Most of us know that, but few of us accept it.

But life is like soil, not like seed.
The chance of a harvest is there, but only if I plant the seed.
And even then I may not get the harvest I expected or wished for - not on my own timetable.
It is an act of faith, and of great courage, to keep on sowing seeds when I don't know what I am going to get.
But it's the only chance I have.
I need to stop expecting the soil to provide the seed.

Today, I will be grateful to be alive.
This day offers a chance for a fuller life, and I
will accept what comes of my efforts.
