Life UNfair?

Last year was undoubtedly a very unchallenging year for everyone. Filled with lots of problems ranging from the pandemic to political crisis to racial violence and a ton of other problems we faced which we never wish had happened.

We started off this year hoping those things won’t repeat themselves hoping this year will come with better stories, hoping the news won’t be filled with all gory and bad news, Well here we are trapped in the reality of life, in this one thing that joins unites us all. Many a times I use to think that no matter how hard we try it all seems like things won’t get better, like there’s no hope at all, especially in this part of the world where it is normal to pass through difficult situations.

Funny, we have faith, we are very optimistic people, we are blessed with the ability to adapt to any situation so even though we may complain when it all happens but day after day our minds become subconsciously tuned to adapt to the unfair situations we find ourselves in.

But we do we blame for the hardships and difficulties we face? Is it ourselves? is it God? Is it the leaders? This has always been a question I have no answer to. Funny we actually have people we blame and valid reasons to blame them for the things we pass through.

So yeah this life can be so unfair, while celebrating the joy of something little did we know that sadness is knocking on the day, coming with a situation that would strangle us of our existence that would strangle us out of our comfort till everything becomes so difficult for us to bear.

We’ve all been made to turn believe the “reality” that life is unfair. So we tend to find means of external satisfaction so even in spite all the hardships of life, we have something to turn to, to find a sense of happiness, as a means of escape from this unfair world and its always been in that cycle cause no matter how hard we try, life would always prove difficult and some situations will come that we can change.

We have a unique transitory getaway from the agonies of life, we resort to parties to drugs some to religion (very common among our parents) But even with our prayers fasting, good deeds, and all it seems that the situation still proves stubborn. Then life challenges our very belief with situations that will bring us out in the open to shame us.

Perhaps you’re having this same thoughts and you are trying to do all you can to come out of it, the truth is you can’t this life will always prove difficult because we are not all the same, it is a life full of sin hatred and lusts, the only place to find happiness to keep on going is to turn to the author and finisher of our faith.

I have come the realization that isn’t about who to blame or not to blame, neither is it about whether or not life is unfair, these things will definitely happen, now the question is how we intend to walk through this life. At this point I will like to remind you that only the creator can help us through this. Let him hold your hands and walk through this menace of life. It’s never too late to turn to our creator who would shield us through this. Even though life could challenge our very belief to the point that we are forced to deny what we hold so dear, he is always there if we call on him.
