Just Wondering

The past few days have given me time to think about everyday thoughts perhaps, things like, ‘does everything have to be fair all the time for people to be content/happy? Or do things just have to ‘look’ like they are fair? Why do some have to go through sadness, depravity, inequality and pain when they have no past that justifies the same? Why do I have the better things just because my parents/ancestors slaved for my well being? Does this mean the good I get now will be a reason for my next generation to go through un-pleasurable times?

So what really is right and what really is wrong? Who am I to complain about anything at all when some have never known what it is like to have a choice? Why is it that so much easily makes us unhappy, and so little for others a reason for their contentment?

I should not want anything, because like a saying I once read said something like this, ‘No material possessions in this world are mine, I did not bring anything when I came into this world, so why should I feel sad when what I have lost what was never mine?’ So is it possible to not want anything? It must be, even if not perhaps I can cherish the thought of the extra I can have but still be happy with what God has given me today. Because the bible also says ‘Christ lives in you and me,’ and don’t be forsaken when things go wrong’

Well I guess not everything is meant to be seen as ‘fair,’ or ‘right’ and ‘wrong,’ Perhaps its perception that matters and how I as an individual come to terms with what i can have, cannot have and can have. Maybe it’s the constant striving for equality that makes me always think that I’ll feel things to be fair sometime, perhaps acceptance would much rather work than this constant endeavor of wonder and ambiguity. Yet am human and that’s not easy 
