to be fair?" Her question was a good one. It reminded me of something I was taught as a youngster: Life isn't
fair. It's a bummer, but it's absolutely true.
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. One of the nice things about surrendering (承认)
to the fact that life isn't fair is that it keeps us from feeling sorry for ourselves by encouraging us to do the
very best we can with what we have. We know it's not "life's job" to make everything perfect it's our own
challenge. Surrendering to this fact also keeps us from feeling sorry for others because we are reminded that
everyone is dealt a different hand; everyone has his own strengths and problems in the process of growing up,
facing the reality and making decisions; and everyone has those times that they feel cheated or unfairly treated.
The fact that life isn't fair doesn't mean we shouldn't do everything in our power to improve our own lives
or the world as a whole. Instead, it suggests that we should. When we don't recognize or admit that life isn't
fair, we tend to feel pity for others and for ourselves. Pity is a self-defeating (自我挫败的) emotion that does
nothing for anyone, except to make everyone feel worse than they already do. When we do recognize that life
isn't fair, however, we feel compassion (同情) for others and for ourselves. And compassion is a heatfelt
emotion that delivers loving-kindness to everyone it touches. The next time you find yourself thinking about
the unfair world, try reminding yourself of this very basic fact. You may be surprised that it can push you out
of self-pity and into helpful action.
B. a disappointment
C. a choice
D. an embarrassment
B. We may feel worse when we realize the unfaimess.
C. Life will become fair someday through our great efforLs.
D. Pity is a self-defeating emotion delivering loving-kindness.
B. Face the Problems in Your Life
C. Encourage Yourself to Do the Best
D. Surrender to the Fact that Life Isn't Fair
