"I used to think it was a terrible thing that life was so unfair. Then I thought, 'what if life were fair, and all of the terrible things that happen to us came because we really deserved them?'"

I am what I am because of the things that happened in my past -- the ups and downs, triumphs and tribulations, happy and sad moments... in short, my experiences. Life taught me to be tough when the situation calls for it. I've created this hard and impenetrable outer shell when ever I need to shelter my vulnerable interior to the harsh environment. But in spite of the hard cover, I am still soft and mushy inside. I cry when I need to cry (in private!), I sympathize to the misfortunes of others, I pity the people suffering from social injustices brought upon them by poverty and the lack of proper education. Sad. Really.

Those are just life experiences, others say. As for me, I just take great comfort in the general unfairness and hostility of the universe. Because I know that everything is unfolding as it should be. And I would like to be in the front row when it happens. Hopefully, it'll be a fun ride.
