FAIR?

Fair is a children's story that we deceive ourselves with.

The underlying problem is we want fairness but it's a myth.

We have to do the best we can with what we have and make the most of it.

We have to be positive and solution driven because the world needs more of that

We simply have to communicate and live connected despite the fact that other people don't.

Otherwise nothing will ever change.

The world has become what broke it. We are tasked with fixing that.

If we do tha, we are the cycle breakers.

The healers.

Remember where you end and others begin. Choose to be uniquely you, not bound by the need to be "completed" by another.

So from "The Prophet", Khalil Gibran, which is, for me, about more than marriage, and true of all close relationships.

"Love one another, but make not a bond

of love:

Let it rather be a moving sea between

the shores of your souls.

Fill each other’s cup but drink not from

one cup.

Give one another of your bread but eat

not from the same loaf.

Sing and dance together and be joyous,

but let each one of you be alone,

Even as the strings of a lute are alone

though they quiver with the same music.

Give your hearts, but not into each

other’s keeping.

For only the hand of Life can contain

your hearts.

And stand together yet not too near

together:

For the pillars of the temple stand apart,

And the oak tree and the cypress grow

not in each other’s shadow."
