Why life is so unfair?!?!?!?!

i dun realli understand the story or rather the moral of it so if u dun mind could u further explain it? thanxOriginally posted by LexZEUS:Two Box (by someone)
=======
There are two box at my hands, one is white and one is black. God told me : "Every happiness you feel, open your white box, and put that happiness in it. Every sorrow you feel, open the black box, and put your sorrow in it".
So everytime I happy or sad, I open one of the box, and put my feeling inside it.
As the time flows, I feel that the white box become heavier but the black box is just the same in weight. Curiously, I open the black box, and I see a hole there. I realize that every sorrows that I put into the black box, it fall down through the hole.
Then I asked God, "Where are all the sorrows I have in the black box ?"
He replied : "They are with me..."
I asked God again : "Why you give me two boxes, one which is white and the other which is black ?"
He replied : "My son, the white box I gave so you may count and remember every grace and mercy I have given to you. And the black box I gave to you so you can throw away and forget them"
>why does He let some of us suffer while the others bathing in happiness??
If you never feel sad and always be happy, evantually you will forget Him...
If he let you to feel sad, then you put your hope in Him...
If you experienced both sorrow and happiness .. that is good, so you can appreciate the God's mercy upon you ... Imagine if you always happy ... you even won't understand what is "happiness" ... since "happiness" means "not sad" ...
no offence

Thanks ...Originally posted by ApPlE_PiE:i dun realli understand the story or rather the moral of it so if u dun mind could u further explain it? thanx
Maybe my english is not good (I translated them from Indonesian to English), that's why you must be confused ... sorry
The moral is : Try to give thanks instead of grumble when you are in problem. Sometime God really let us to go in a deep trouble for these 3 reason :
1. So you can lean on Him, if you never have problem, you will lean on yourself, won't you ?
2. So you can appreciate Him when He help you out from your problem. Then you will give thanks more, and you won't say : "I overcome this because of my strength, ability, skill, etc."
3. To improve your characters : be more patient, be more graceful, more endurable, independent, etc.
Giving thanks is not depend on situation or problem. Giving thanks is an ACT. Even you are in a deep problem, you can still decide if you want to Give thanks or grumble.
When you are in deep problem, then you scream, frustate, cry ... well, all people do that...
But, if you give thanks instead of grumbling... you are different than most of people ...
You can still give thanks even though your heart is sad (giving thanks won't simply make you happy), but it will help you to face your problem (by giving your *more* faith). And, sure ... God will be more gracious for people who knows to give thank even when in bad situation, He will not wait to help you out ...
God bless you folks ...
PS: I won't try to make any people here to have christian religion, everybody have their own *religion*. Please don't be offended. I just want to share : why should we give thanks .... -

Meanings are just reasons human made up for them to 'see things'.... My nick holds too many 'meanings' to unfold.... In short, it SIMPLY means "In 1976, a Devil was born under the CURSED star...."

If life is Fair ..then its not call life anymore... Becos of the unfairness/disappointment/ failure in life, we learn and we grow. We learn the beauty of appreciation when good things happen and thus would not take things 4 granted.
If life is So Fair, perhaps we'll be posting: Why is my life so smooth sailing? Can i have some ups and down? Some challenge perhaps...
Guess we would never be satisfied with whatever we have..
Well.. i guess y bother thinkin y is life so unfair. Y not juz think of ways to make your life more meaningful and fufilling... If not learn to appreciate what u presently hv...Perhaps then life would hold a different meaning for you...

Yes I DO... Currently, the main one would be 'to bend life and set JUSTICE RIGHT...' VERY FAR from it... But I'm still working on it.... I've got a feeling I might not be able to accomplish it... At least not in one life time...? I thought I might need 'help'.... But it's NOT easy to do so in this world...... Especially when you're a 'Devil'.... And the WORSE part is 'you're not alone'... So the thought of becoming a Devil struck me.... To achieve 'ETERNITY EXISTENCE'...?
[B]

Personally... I think to be a 'somebody' won't really be necessary... Afterall, everybody dies one day... But at least being a 'better person'.... Depending on how you define it that is...? Might still be something worth working on.... Provided that you know where you're going of course...? And provided that your 'ultimate direction' is right...?
Hmm.... I sense an 'interesting discussion' going on... And if all you want is to talk to someone, I would by all means oblige to it... ~smile~ But if you're just trying to 'lead me somewhere' through 'small talks' I think you still have much to learn...?
One thing about "Devil born on 1976 on cursed star", why ? Why it was cursed star ?Why "devil" rather than "angel" (sorry, with all respect, I am not try to make *problem* with nickname, just curious) ...
I mean, people (bad or good) don't like to have "devil-thing" related to their live. Not arguable, many people keep trying to hide their weakness.
Because just like the many others out there who wished they've lived a longer life... A better life...? Asking why can't they choose....? This 'Devil' also asked this question.... Why can't he choose? Not to be born...? For as soon as his 'childhood happy dreams' were over.... He started to question... Why is he born into this life... To endure... The PAIN and the 'SUFFERING'.... So as to experience...? To grow STRONGER..? So that he can help the others who have once 'hurt him'...? Why this ordinary him? Why not someone else....? That is because he never realised.... He was the 'chosen Devil'.... To be born under that 'Cursed Star'.... But now he's slowly learning.... Learning to understand why HE is the CHOSEN ONE....?
'Devils' are also a form of 'Angels'.... They're just 'fallen angels'.... And is GOD is really mercy and forgiveness.... GOD would still love 'Devils' equally as to his 'angels'.... "Angels can stray, Devils can flock... In the mist of clouded darkness, who would have thought that which land is dark? And which side is NOT?"
If it is just about 'hiding from the dark side of you'.... It definitely won't make you much LESS of an Evil person...? And it's usually not what you see that is dangerous... It's what you 'don't see' which can STRIKE YOU... REAL HARD..... Rather than not giving recognition to yourself.... Why don't you just try to understand it because you decide to 'condemn it'...?
Experience of live construct one's character...
But it is ALSO how you CHOOSE to REACT which decides what that EXPERIENCE gonna MEAN to you....? You can't just blame everything or LEAVEs EVERYTHING to NATURE....? And IF you really MUST... Then CONSIDER THIS... You're inevitably ALSO part of NATURE....?
May I know, what is inside you / what do you think about yourself (a real devil perhaps)? (pls don't answer my question, if you feel get offended, simply forget it)....
c u ...
Inside me is just a HUMAN... A VERY ORDINARY human... CHOSEN for an EXTRAORDINARY LIFE... For reason(s) I believe I have not fully comprehense...? I've got a CHOICE... To go on with my 'destiny' and BE A DEVIL..... The other CHOICE I believe is DIE.... Not that I would choose to die... But LAUGH if you must, I believe I've already EXHAUSTED my life-span... And if not for the sake that I'm a 'Devil'.... I won't even be down here typing to you... I also choose to go on because... I'm interested to know what it's like to be a Devil...? (A REAL COMPLETED ONE?) There're just so many things I FEEL... I NEED to set RIGHT.... And being a 'Devil' perhaps provides an answer to MANY of my QUESTIONs.....
I have no 'friends' nor 'family'.
I hold no past and see not future...
These are just samples of illusions....
I don't exist, but I shall live ETERNITY..... DEVIL PHRASE II

WRONG. We DO NOT have TOTAL CONTROL of our own lives like MANY would like to believe. But inevitably, one is USUALLY the MAJOR controller of his/her life.Originally posted by ApPlE_PiE:We are having total control of our own life rite? So no matter how we want our life to be,it all depends on our doings rite??
Our doings would contribute to the SHAPING of our life (and other people's lives) directly or indirectly. The 'effects' of our doings vary due to many 'factors' in the world.
By CONSTANTLY monitoring your OWN ACTIVITIES, you could INCREASE the chances of 'higher control' of your life through means of simple probablity. And hence, maintain the 'shape' of your life within a certain structure.

Hi Devil1976,
Not very often I know people like you "who" actually knows that "DEVIL" was actually "A FALLEN ANGEL", a cursed one, as u said ...
But... "DEVIL" has no place in Heaven ... God doesn't have mercy ? No ... He does have ... He just let you know that one must responsible to his own action. Once Luciffer decide himself to rebel against God, his place is in Hell... so does the angels and human who follow him ...
Funny right, you said you are "Devil" but your profile shows "I live in earth, heaven", but no word about "hell" ... inside you : "You want to live in heaven, yet you are afraid of the burning hell", but you are too stubborn to acknowledge "I am guilty and I can do nothing about it to save myself" ... or .. "I am guilty, let me see what *the Mercyful God* can do about me" ...
Many people want to choose to be void, just like you say : I WANT TO BE NOTHING EVEN THOUGH THIS WORLD IS EXIST, I ASSUME I AM NOTHING. Well, *void* is not an option. You have to be somebody, and you were and are. And the *somebody* you are, will be judged accordingly, and be *praised* or *condemned* either by *other human* and *GOD* ...
Fear not ... but I know you really do *fear* ...
===========================================
I don't know why some people try to ignore themself but they care to others ... will that ease themself? no ... just like cracked pot to water plants, the plants are happy but the cracked pot still remain cracked...
===========================================
Experience of live construct one's character => done even before you learn how to make decision ... a little 3 years boy know what is *being rejected* when he found no mother and father cares about him... and many smiling people around us has the same sad experiences without our *knowledge* ...
nothing I can said ... you may say : "I don't want somebody to pity me" .. but I really feel pity about people like you ...
one way ...
repent ...
(sorry for all my words which may cause harm to anybody, this is my last reply in this topic ... sorry everybody ... and thanks for Devil for his honest to share his feeling, I appreciate it so much) ...
bye .. -
LexZeus,
You boy or girl? Heehee... if girl then...
Anyway, the discussion is between you two and I don't want to interupt. Actually, more to keep my opinions to myself.
That's all. -

But anything with RELIGION I would not talk on... SORRY... If you really wanna convince me on the TOPIC of RELIGION, on 3 CONDITIONS... (1)You meet me up IN PERSON. (2)If you want me to listen to your story, you've gotta to have an OPEN MIND. And... You'll have to listen to my side of the story TOO.... (3)Just between YOU and ME.... NO 3rd party....

Ok... This is something RELIGIOUS... If you're referring to a story you've read from your book, I AGREE with you...? NEXT....
Funny right, you said you are "Devil" but your profile shows "I live in earth, heaven", but no word about "hell" ... inside you : "You want to live in heaven, yet you are afraid of the burning hell", Hehheh... Sorry, no offence... Can't help but to laugh... Cause you really AMUSES me.....? To be EXACT, the LOCATION are: Heaven, Earth and Singapore. Yup... That's the places I travel around in my eyes... Singapore is where I LIVED... Where my body PHYSICALLY is.... 'Heaven' is a SPOT so high up which I stand at times to OBSERVE people.... 'Earth' is the NATURAL leverage I should be... To be 'among the people'... 'Heaven' is NOT a place to stay for long... It tends to make a person 'proud'...? Having a position 'above the rest'.... And regarding your 'judgement' of me... (Inside of me?) It's just the OPPOSITION..... Yes, I'm afraid of the 'burning hell' for now..... Cause I'm not ready yet... Still not a TRUE BREED DEVIL.... I did not mention HELL because I'm not ready for it.... I'm not so STUPID as to 'kill' myself now...? When I'm READY, HELL would be my ULTIMATE CHALLENGE....
but you are too stubborn to acknowledge "I am guilty and I can do nothing about it to save myself" ... or .. "I am guilty, let me see what *the Mercyful God* can do about me" ...
Hehhehheh... NICE IMAGINATION...? I've got nothing to acknowledge and many 'better things' to think about and problems to tackle in life.... Please leave your little 'fantasy' to yourself and quit telling me what I'm thinking of on my head already..? GEE... It AMAZES me how much more you actually BELIEVE that you know is going on in my head than I do...?
I'll take it as your intention's out for GOOD... But thanks... And 'no thanks'...
Many people want to choose to be void, just like you say : I WANT TO BE NOTHING EVEN THOUGH THIS WORLD IS EXIST, I ASSUME I AM NOTHING.
Err... Did I actually said ANYTHING like this...???
Well, *void* is not an option. You have to be somebody, and you were and are. And the *somebody* you are, will be judged accordingly, and be *praised* or *condemned* either by *other human* and *GOD* ...
~Sigh..~ Egolistic creatures.... I HAVE to be 'somebody' so that I CAN BE 'judged' or 'condemned' ACCORDINGLY.... ~Sigh...~ Don't worry about it man... Even though I still CHOOSE to be a 'nobody'... I can ALMOST ASSURE you that there're MANY people out there who CAN'T WAIT to CONDEMN me man..... Who cares about what they say if what they say have little meanings at all....?
I just BELIEVE that what really have to be DONE... Have to be DONE one day....
Fear not ... but I know you really do *fear* ...
~YAWNs..~ You SEEMS to know me VERY WELL my friend....? I bet it SURPRISES me as much as it SURPRISES yourself....?
===========================================
I don't know why some people try to ignore themself but they care to others ... will that ease themself? no ... just like cracked pot to water plants, the plants are happy but the cracked pot still remain cracked...

The experience of life can ONLY 'construct one's character' because it was DONE before we learn to make decision... And when we've LEARNED to make decisions....? Do you think life would be the same anymore....?
Life is really not as SIMPLE as you think my friend.... NO OFFENCE if I have to say this. BEFORE you decide for which GOD to SERVE, which ACTION to take, which person to SPEAK UP for..... You BETTER know where you're heading for.....?
