So, as it turns out, this isn't an epiphany, it's just the way it is.

Life isn't fair.

It isn't even equal amounts of greatness and awfulness. It doesn't matter if you're a "good guy" or a "bad guy". Some people can get through life without extreme highs and lows. Some people aren't so lucky. That's just how it is.

Mind you, I'm not complaining about my life. Far from it. Sometimes, though, I think the kids I work with just don't need another reason to give up.

Take the kid I talked about a few posts ago. His mother had stage 4 bladder cancer. Yesterday, I attended her memorial service.

Just not fair.
