Who’s The Fairest Of Us All?

If you're looking for fairness, don't look in the mirror for an example

We’ve all complained about life and screamed, for parents and spouses to hear, that life just isn’t fair. More than two centuries ago,

Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence that men are “endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Jefferson wasn’t an idiot. He never guaranteed happiness, only the pursuit of it; and as all of us know who’ve gone after the prettiest girls in high school or the biggest spending potential clients, pursuit of something hardly guarantees you’ll actually get it. 

Some of us are born rich, some poor. Some of us are born in so-called free countries, others in dictatorships. Some in seemingly good health, some with congenital heart defects, and others as Siammese twins connected on the ass. Recently, my father sent me a video link of an Australian man with no arms or legs This man learned how to’walk’ and swim and become a motivational speaker. Inspirational, sure, but fair?
