It’s not fair. Just because I hate my greens I cannot leave the table until I’ve eaten all my vegetables.
It’s not fair. Just because some children did something bad at school the whole class had to stay late and miss a break.
It’s not fair. I can’t watch TV until I’ve finished my homework.
It’s not fair. I have to be back at home by 11 o’clock.
It’s not fair. Just because other youngsters drink and drive, dad will not let me borrow the car in case I have an accident.
It’s not fair. Just because some people went on strike, the company is in financial difficulties and many of us will lose our jobs.
It’s not fair. They’ve arrested a man in the park. They’ve brought Him to court under false charges. They brought forward lying witnesses who made unsubstantiated claims against Him. They then beat Him up, spat on Him, placed thorns on His head, tortured Him, nailed Him to a Cross and killed Him.
It’s just not fair.
Father always knows best, though.

Of course life isn't fair. We just have to accept it, move on and do our best.

You are so right, Bill. Life is not fair.
