“We tend to think, 'Life should be fair because God is fair.' But God is not life. And if I confuse God with the physical reality of life- by expecting constant good health for example- then I set myself up for crashing disappointment.”

“If you ever expect life to be fair, you are in for a shocking disappointment. Life is what it is. Fair is something we made up.”

“One of the mistakes many of us make is that we feel sorry for ourselves, or for others, thinking that life should be fair, or that someday it will be. It's not and it won't. When we make this mistake we tend to spend a lot of time wallowing and/or complaining about what's wrong with life. "It's not fair," we complain, not realizing that, perhaps, it was never intended to be.”

“God promises neither good life nor good health but live your life the way it is planned by you and fate.”

“Life is a good deal more comfortable if one doesn't expect it to be fair.”

“God is great, but sometimes life ain't good and when I pray it doesn't always turn out like I think it should. But I do it anyway.”
