One of the hardest experiences to move on from in this world, is the sensation of unfairness.

The holy books of earth are all riddled with tellings of unfairness or apparent unfairness.

–   The story of the Prodigal’s Son is a story of unfairness to the son who stayed behind and toiled day and night thanklessly alongside his father.

–   The story of the Ten Talents is one of unfairness towards the servant, who did exactly as his master directed.

–   However, in the story chronicling the Three Rejections of Musa; wherein as recompense for good deeds, poor men lose the use of their boat, an innocent young boy is slain, and an undeserving landlord gets his divisive wall repaired – we start to see a faint light shed upon the experience of unfairness as having more to do with an idea of perspective; as possibly, a lack of vision and patience on the part of the observer/experiencer; and more precisely, as a lack of appreciation for Divine Justice.

In the experience of unfairness, there seems to be no reward for the generous, the innocent, the fair minded, or the just. Yet, it is in stories such as the latter, that we receive hints of unfairness as being a cloud with a silver lining.

Physical acts of violence that cause another to suffer in immeasurable ways, often result in depression and a range of social anxieties that limit the experience of joy in daily living. After experiencing unfairness, an individual may spiral downwards into a mindset of resentment, bad-mindedness, and miserliness – especially in a scenario where a person’s acts of generosity were not grounded in any real understanding of the boundaries between Other and Self.

Self is I (the life-preserving ego, the here and now identifier, the one-of-a kind manifestation of spirit)

Other is eema (for more information on eema, download your FREE copy of the short story “Innocence”)

Regardless of the source of your experience with Unfairness, once those boundaries have been violated, the onus is on you to get past the hurtful moment; to put the pieces of your life back together for yourself above all else.

JUST CHOOSE

If you dislike the reality you’re currently in, then it’s time to make a shift:

• • • Choose to move

Taking the time to understand how to personally define self, and distinguish Self from Other is the first healthy step you can take in the direction towards healing.

• • • • • Devise new, yet realistic guidelines that determine what your boundaries will be in going forward.
        • Decide what mental, emotional, and physical detectors you will put in place as useful indicators prior to a breach of boundaries taking place.
        • Plan new and realistic exit strategies that remove you from harmful situations before they become critical.
        • Know the difference between DANGER, DISCOMFORT, and DISCOVERY of potentially adventure filled opportunities. As life is to be lived joyfully.

The REALITY is that bad things happen to good people EVERY DAY. 

The MESSAGE is that there is hope for recovery after a bad experience.

The LESSON is that the way to come out of a bad experience is to shift your perspective.

Are you still waiting for an apology from individuals who have yet to acknowledge culpability? Are you putting your life on hold while waiting for lawyers and the courts to arrive at a verdict in your favour? Whether it’s vindication or validation, legal processes can take years, and winning is not a guarantee.

JUST CHOOSE TO SHIFT YOUR PERSPECTIVE
