Happy St Patri...Hello Sarah, Breadgirl and Bernie,<br /><br />Happy St Patrick's Day.<br /><br />I suppose that fairness is in the eye of the beholder. What is fair to us may not be so to someone else. Maybe the Good Lord has allowed this to happen to teach us humility and sacrifice.<br /><br />The greatest unfairness of it all being His Crucifixion.<br /><br />God bless you Sarah, Breadgirl and Bernie, and your families too.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-75766539658197616332010-03-16T21:00:40.246-07:002010-03-16T21:00:40.246-07:00You know Victor I wrote a post a while back about ...You know Victor I wrote a post a while back about life not being fair, but it still is good.<br />You know I have my own thoughts on this, I think if we went through life without feeling life wasn't fair then we would have nothing to offer up as a sacrifice for penance, I would rather liquidfy and do penance here than in purqatory....does that make any sense. Thank you my friend........:-) HugsBerniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03024565921761129108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-15908138632181252182010-03-16T19:32:07.699-07:002010-03-16T19:32:07.699-07:00Hi Victor

How nice to see...Hello Mary, Cathy and Miss Ellen,<br /><br />How nice to see you visiting here again. Thanx.<br /><br />Whether we are young or a little older, we all tend to compare our lot with others' and perhaps sometime think: it isn't fair. Others seemingly have better lives than ours, or are healthier, richer or whatever. It's natural to feel like that I suppose. <br /><br />Furthermore, it seems part of human nature to get some comfort from the discomfort of others. For example, we see someone else's difficulties and say to ourselves "Phew ... that could have been me."<br /><br />God has allowed these emotions as part of our make up. Perhaps He is telling us to learn to control them and to turn these feelings into love, compassion and empathy. Just like Jesus did.<br /><br />Thank you so much for writing in. May God bless you and your familes always.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-26335819467485384962010-03-16T14:14:06.675-07:002010-03-16T14:14:06.675-07:00Looking back, I think 'It's not fair' ...Looking back, I think 'It's not fair' was never far from my lips as a child. Whenever I didn't get my own way, I often protested, 'it's not fair'. My wise mother often replied, 'no, but then life's not fair' just like Fr Ignatius.<br /><br />Of course, I didn't like to hear that either when what I really wanted to hear was, 'OK, go ahead then!'<br /><br />If only we could combine the wisdom of maturity with the vitality of youth!Idle Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07583960388335420573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-56810344286382149962010-03-16T12:22:51.845-07:002010-03-16T12:22:51.845-07:00So very good...Life's just like that!

For example: <br />those who are brutally abused from birth to death. My friend was asking me, "Why does God allow this? A child to suffer for her entire short life?" I had to tell her I didn't know but people have free will and sometimes people misuse this gift for evil instead of good.<br /><br />I know when I was young I thought life was very unfair, especially when I was a teenager. Young people could save themselves a lot of grief and pain if they did things out of holy obedience. We think we are so wise when we are young, it's funny :) Had I kept going to Confession and Church my life would have been a whole lot easier!Mary N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06618318192221168152noreply@blogger.com
