Life is indeed not fair. If it were, we would be in a much worse position if we actually received equally what we dish out. We tend to focus on our positive actions and words but forget what we say or do (or don't do) that harm others. If life were indeed fair, we would be more aware of the evil and insults we dish out because they would come back at us at an equal rate.
Lord, help me to understand that my words and actions have impact.
