Life isn't fair

As though you weren't given the toy you hoped for in your Happy Meal.

As though you caught all the red lights home.

As though you got a few bad letters after your turn at Scrabble.

Isn't that exactly it, too? You were dealt a bad hand, after all. It's just a game.

It's easy for it to be just a game when you never so much as feel the fallout from your own bad decisions -- after all, you've already been sheltered from feeling the effect of any act God could throw at you.

Sometimes, life isn't fair -- for the rest of us.
