How Fair Are You?

Fair- if a situation is fair, everybody is  treated equally and in a reasonable way. 
Life is not always fair
Everyone has a right to a fair trial
Free and fair elections.
It is no fair to someone: "it wouldn't be fair to the others if she is paid more."  -Online dictionary.

How fair are you to the people in your life?  Do you treat everyone the same or some better than others?  I pondered this question not only about how I treat people...but how fair they treat me.

I have carried this burden and anger for many years, from my parents, to my friends, to teachers , to boyfriends and bosses, only for a bright light to shine on this feeling of anger this weekend. 

I guess you could say I had an "ah" moment.  It was a beautiful feeling of warmth and calm that came over me while I was reflecting and healing...I realized, that everyone treats me different, because I am, I am stronger and more able to handle things than all the people I feel are being treated more fairly than I.  I realized that by complaining and being angry that I get the short end of the stick all the time, is really me giving them power over my life.  I am waiting for their approval to say.." oh, poor thing, of course you can have what they have..". But by wanting what they have, will make me as weak as them.  I am not weak, nor have I ever been, even when I was crying and so hurt inside by the un-fairness of things in my life, I never showed it...but it ate away at me, until I said, enough, no one has the power to make you feel like your life is not fair, you give them the power when you become angry at them.

I have always treated people the same, I don't care who you are or what you do, how much money you have or if your position is higher than mine, we are all children of God.  The people that like to play with their control over others ( which includes being fair or unfair) haven't realized yet that they are children of God and therefore souls.  If you view others as souls and not children of men, your heart opens, you love no matter what and with that will treat everyone the same...with kindness.

Be fair, be honest, be loving, be you and remember:

Everyone can be nice to a person who is nice to them, but it takes a truly great person, to be kind and nice to the ones who have treated them poorly.
