Is life Truthful or Unfair?

Most people hate the realities life hands them. What is even more interesting is that they chronically complain about the unfairness life deals them, while completely ignoring the fact that they are the number one producers of what they deem unfair.

So, what is this reality of life you may be asking yourself right now? To understand the reality of life, we must first undo our understanding of what it is not. It has been echoed throughout history and even to this day that life is unfair. While this may be comforting, it's usually an attempt to shift accountability and responsibility for life's unpleasant outcomes away from ourselves. The reality is that it isn't about life being fair or unfair. Instead, it's about the truth that life spits in our faces every day, a truth most of us refuse to accept. As a result, we continue to live life with the same people the same way, adhering to the same non-producing advice, which will continue to guarantee us the same unpleasant result we label as unfair.

Fairness and unfairness demand discretion, tact, and prudence. However, these qualities do not define life's core. Fundamentally, life is about what you consistently give to it. What you tolerate, repeat, and defend will lead to the same results. To alter the adverse outcomes you've been experiencing, you need to change what you have been tolerating, repeating, or protecting. Results only shift when the factors that create them are changed.

So, with 2026 fast approaching, are you still determined to keep the same ingredients in your life that have led to the same frustrating results as 2025 comes to an end, which you consider unfair? I mean those negative friends, your reluctance to change what isn't working, and holding onto past hurts, disappointments, and unforgiveness. Can't you see that the results of your life are not UNFAIRNESS but TRUTH screaming at you, insisting that the changes in your circumstances you so desperately desire MUST begin with you and will always be initiated by accountability and responsibility?

I believe Albert Einstein once said that insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. So, life isn't inherently unfair; instead, it's the person who keeps repeating the same actions in pursuit of a different outcome who is misguided to call life unfair.
