Why Can't Things Be Fair?

There is a reason people say that life isn't fair. I suppose it's something you have to find out for yourself though. You can't just have someone tell you that not everything is fair. The words don't mean anything to you. You have to experience the unfairness of life to finally understand. Being thrust into the real world has given me a first row seat to see just how unfair things can be.

It's not fair that the only gas company in the area, Nipsco, is an evil monopoly that has no problem charging people $300 a month just to heat their homes so they don't freeze to death. It's not fair that the dumper gets paid for jobs he has nothing to do with. Linda is working on a million dollar project but won't see a dime of any type of bonus even though the customers that the dumper supposedly "work with" won't even let him into their buildings. They can't stand him and yet because he is the outside sales person for these customers, he will get a $6,000 bonus and not Linda. It's not fair that Bob the boss won't do anything to stop this from happening even though he knows that a lot of the dumper's customers won't even talk to him. It's not fair that one of the nicest ladies I have ever met, a woman who has shown infinite patience with me every time I ask a question, had to have a miscarriage after she and her husband have tried for years to get pregnant. It's not fair that my own father seems to love my dog more than me since anytime I call, that's all he asks about or even when he's leaving after a weekend visit, he'll say goodbye to Baxter and completely forget about saying goodbye to me.

But most of all, it sucks that life has to suck. Yes. There are good days and there are bad days but the way we all seem to work is we never remember the good days because it really does seem that the unfair sucky days outweigh the good. Life is unfair. And it sucks that there's not a damn thing anyone can do about it.

Sorry for this little rant of mine. I've just been bothered by the dumper all morning and it has finally gotten to me. It's not healthy to be so angry at one human being like he makes me angry at him. It sucks that this is a man I have to work with. How is it possible that nearly everyone else in the office is awesome and then there's him? Why does it seem like every situation has to have the token sucky person? Just look at what kind of foul moods he puts me in. His presence makes me question the fairness of life for goodness sakes!
