To see who can handle it. Those who can't seem to commit suicide. God has one messed up sense of humor.

Everyone's life has challenges. Some people's are very visible and other's, not so much. It is up to each person to rise to the challenge and get themselves through them.

Thoughts are indeed things. What you put out,

you get back. And that's just from thinking about,

things to much. Try listening to yourself when you

think. Are you causeing your own problems?

Dear Purple Haze,

We are by our very nature, creatures of perfection: Perfect love, perfect freedom, justice, beauty; and we are born into a world which is, well...not...

The futile search for happiness here in the world of time and space pushes us to look toward the perfection within ourselves rather than investing in a chase after hopelessness, the futility of trying to run away from the unpleasant half of the world.

Fair? Who'd want that?

If life were fair, we'd all have the same, live the same, BE the same. Nothing would be special, nothing would be original. There would be no heroes, no role models, no character, no excellence. What would we strive for? 

Imagine the monotony.

How many have ever stood up to object aloud when life turned unfair in their favor? In some circles, this is called a blessing, or even a miracle. "Fair" is the negation of miracles.

Wow! There have been some great answers already.

Think of it this way. Life is neither fair nor unfair. It's just a series of semi-random events. In a sense it's like a game of cards. Anybody can play the good cards well but success in the game of life depends on how well you play the bad cards.

I see from your profile page that you're working on your BA and have interests in both psychology and philosophy. You haven't answered any question yet but feel free to pitch in. You'll be surprised how much you can learn by sharing ideas with other people -- especially those who disagree with you.

Of course, Purple. We're a pretty wide cross mix of people from 13 year old kids to a handful of geezers (and geezeristas). Some have impressive qualifications, some have limited education but, perhaps, wide experience. It's a great way of swapping ideas and yours are as good as anybody's. Enjoy!

Because "life" is far too complex to be anything but unpredictable. Life is comprised of many things ranging from pure elation to utter devastation. That's it beauty .. That's its demise.. Ying and yang .. Constantly has us searching for a sense of balance.
