Life is Unfair
There is one situation that I have personally been in that made me question the statement “Life is unfair”. Some things just don’t seem right, like they shouldn’t be. They say that “everything happens for a reason” but does it really? It had felt like the universe was against me when I had my heart completely broken. I thought “What did I ever do to deserve this?” and everything just seemed so unfair, that it would happen to me at that particular time. It felt like there was no way out. To this day, my heart still feels as if it is in a million pieces and it seems as nothing will ever go right. I always question my faith and how I could have stopped this from happening and I constantly blame myself.
I never knew how powerful love could really be until I met this one boy. He made me the happiest girl in the world and I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Most of the time I felt like I never even deserved him. He was so kind and caring and everything about him made me fall for him so quick. I never ever pictured myself in a situation like this. I didn’t think it was possible to ever feel that way about someone. I surprised myself. Things were going so great it almost seemed too good to be true. Shortly after, I found out that I was right; it was too good to be true. Things went spiralling downhill fast. That’s when I started to think that life was unfair, at the beginning. Now after a month later, I really think that.
This boy had started slowly distancing himself away from me. He started making up excuses of why he didn’t want to be with me anymore and why he felt it wasn’t going to work out. The way he expressed his lost feelings for me cut into me like a knife. His words really affected me and still do. I could tell this wasn’t good. But I figured I would just recover from it and get my way like I always do. I figured I would just use my magic way of words to change his mind. I was so wrong. This time it just wouldn’t work. He wouldn’t budge. He made up his

    I strongly believe in Aristotle’s words of “everything happens for a reason.” I do have belief that random chance exists because I think we can change our design. The way I can prove this through a first hand experience. My family and I were getting dinner from Whole Foods and then my brother decided to go to Barnes and Noble to read a book. He made us stay 5 extra minutes, and on the way home, we got into an accident. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but I think it was random chance for us to get hit by that women, but it was all apart of the plan for us to stay later at Barnes and Noble. There was a sequence of events that had to go in order like him wanting to Barnes and Noble and stay extra, which then led to the accident. That is also the…

    There are very few people who would argue that life is fair. Some might say that this unfairness comes from God's wrath at Adam's rebellion, some say it's the fact that human beings are so greedy that no matter what happens to them they believe it underwhelming compared to what they deserve. Albert Camus, in The Guest, proposes that there is a free choice that goes along with life and if the result seems unfair, it is because humans are out of synch with each other.…

    First, unfairness is portrayed through the Greasers. Johnny, one of the Greasers, had been treated unfairly his whole life. The narrator states, “ If it hadn’t been for the gang, Johnny would never have known what love and affection are.” ( Page 12 ). Johnny’s parents were abusive. Since Johnny was not born into a family that cared about him, he did not know that life could be better. His parents were not Johnny’s fault, he had never done anything wrong. Johnny was just born into an unfair family . Life is unfair, but not all of them are equally unfair.…

    I wonder how many people really think that life is not fair. Maybe some people have experienced it more than others have. Some people think that if you got toys and stuff to play with you should be seen and not heard. Therefore “The thing is, what I’m trying to say is – they do get along a lot better without me, I cannot help them any. They ain’t mean. They give me everything I want, but it is now…

    Why did you leave?” I put my tea on the table and I cleaned my lips before answering him, “I was in Louisiana, I have to stay there for some reason.” “Why you didn't tell me? Why did you just leave?” he asked. “I had to do that Nathan. You won't understand.” “Then help me understand it. Explain it to me please. I wanna know what happened. Is it me? Did I do something wrong? You didn't have to leave. We could’ve fixed it Hailey.” he said very confused. “I had to leave without telling you Nathan, because I didn't want you to wait for me. I want you to have fun and enjoy your life without me.” I tried to explain. “Without you? How do you expect me to have fun and enjoy without you? You're my happiness Hailey don't you understand that?” “Well you have to learn how to live without me Nathan.” “What? Why? You're gonna leave again? And what? This time you're not coming back?” “You're right Nathan. Maybe this time I won't come back. You should find someone else that won't leave you.” Then I look at him and I saw in his eyes that I'm hurting him so much. “Find someone else? Is it that easy for you to say that? Or maybe because YOU found someone else” he said emphasizing ‘you.’ “No Nathan. Please calm down.” “Almost 3 years Hailey. You left for 3 years. No emails, no letters, no text messages, no calls, no nothing! You even changed your number. And now you're telling me that I should look for someone else?” He…

    Every victim looks forward to fair trial, conviction and sentencing. Money, time that the lawyer has with the client and other motivating factors determine whether the accused will receive fair or unfair sentence. However, this has not always been true for many suspects in the court of law within US. According to Death Penalty Washighton Center, (2003) victims race, the defendant or both elements play a fundamental role in deciding whether death penalties or death sentences are imposed on victims. For example, black defendants are less likely to get their cases filed on death sentences, but are highly likely to get death penalty imposition compared to white defendants. This report will establish whether there exists any severity of sentences…

    We are never promised the honor to live the next day; we are never guaranteed tomorrow. You can not live regretting your decisions. You must live in the moment or the moment is wasted. The one you love more than words could describe could be gone tomorrow; the reason they are gone could get locked up. Lose focus and look away, what you turned to see can be the last thing you saw before you life flashes before your eyes. Your next breath you take in could be your last. We all realize these things at our own pace; we all have experiences that open our eyes to reality; mine were all crammed into one dramatic week. “Everything happens for a reason, but I think it's important to seek out that reason - that's how we learn” as said…

    “Everything happens for a reason.” This universal quote has been heard all across the world and has been said for centuries.

    During my sophomore year of high school, I was “blessed” to have my first boyfriend, or so I thought. I finally ended our relationship after a whole year of deception and infidelity. I found myself battling my significant other in an abusive relationship. At first, it seemed unlikely that the two of us would end on negative terms, but the experience was evident, and I was just oblivious to the signs. The story of my first love was not a tale ending with “happily ever after,” but a tragedy framed by heartbreak and trampled hope.…
