Do you ever feel like life’s just not fair? Like everything always goes wrong for you? You try your best to be good and get along with people, but it feels like the world is out to get you. Many of us go through these tough times, and it can seem like there’s some kind of conspiracy against us, no matter how hard we try to do right.
People can be downright mean sometimes. There are folks who seem to have a mission to pick on others and make their lives miserable. It happens everywhere, at work, at church, and even within our own families occasionally.
But what’s behind all this behavior? It might not seem fair, but a lot of times, it’s because these people have had their fair share of pain in their own lives. We’re born into this world without choosing where or with whom, and sometimes, our early years can be really tough. We face negative experiences that force us into survival mode, always trying to protect ourselves.
Think of it like this: imagine you have a little dog, and you start mistreating it, maybe yelling or even hurting it. Or when the poor pet is in pain, and you accidentally touch its wound, it might try to bite you. Not because it’s a vicious dog, but because it’s hurting, and the pain makes it react that way to try and find relief and let you know it’s hurting.
The problem is, most of the time, we don’t understand these things, and we end up reacting the same way, going into defense mode without even realizing it.
That little animal doesn’t want to hurt you; its only intention is to protect itself from the pain. And that’s what happens with people who always treat others poorly. We might think life is unfair, but the truth is, we’re living in a world that’s become quite messed up over time.
So, what can we do to make things better? Maybe we can take a step back and consider if there’s something we can do to improve the situation. Even if it means just walking away and trying to understand that the person making us feel this way might be in greater need than we are.
Because the truth is, those of us who feel like life’s unfair because of these situations are often in a better place overall. People who act this way are usually in pain, but we’re not. We only feel this way when we’re treated unfairly, but most of the time, we’re actually pretty content.
So, I encourage you to see how fortunate you are and try to help others instead of letting that feeling of “unfairness” cloud your vision. It’s not the easiest thing to do, but I can tell you from experience, once you start putting this into action, it’s incredibly satisfying.
So, what do you say? Join me on this journey to make our lives and the world a better place. I know you have it in you; you’re blessed and full of life. Let’s work together to make the world a better place.
