On Fairness
I've been thinking a lot about fairness lately. I find myself falling into a mindset of "that's not fair" or "they're getting more than me" or something similar. Almost like a righteous pity party. After accepting that things will never be "fair," I realized that my definition of the word fair or just isn't universally applied. I only want the kind of fair that's positive. Like, we all get equal portions of cake. But if I want that kind of fairness, I need to be prepared to accept the consequences. Because consequences are also a form a fairness. If I behave wrongly (for example purposes, speeding), then there is a punishment that may come (I may get a ticket). I should receive the same consequences as others who committed similar wrong doings. This thought took me even deeper. The end result is I'm so grateful that God doesn't judge me the way I judge others. While I tend to be critical of myself, I also tend to see my action...
