Quotation for Tuesday 26th May 2020

Good morning everyone,

I hope you all had a good long weekend.

My quotation today is really short and I think, very harsh, but it does possibly have some merit on some occasions.

"Life is not fair. Get used to it" - BILL GATES-

This popped up on my phone this morning as the quotation of the day.

Now and again we need that pep talk. Life's not fair and it never will be. Sometimes we seem to think it should be, and in thinking about how unfairly we've been treated we can become down and depressed, which really isn't useful to us.

But it's very easy to tell everyone to 'get over it', when you happen to be one of those who's worked hard, but also had some advantages and the privileges that success can bring.

I have some admiration for Bill Gates. He's been generous through giving to those who haven't been so fortunate, but I think he could have made his point a little more kindly!

What do you think?

Have a good Tuesday and take care.

Good morning Callendersgal, I am a great admirer of Bill Gates. I think he moves in some very wealthy circles and probably hears “not fair!” pretty often. It’s not the kindest way to say things perhaps but I do get where he’s coming from.

I feel privileged to be happily married etc. but no, life really isn’t fair. If it were then Pete would be better, our son wouldn’t have mental health problems and I could feel less stressed. As it is we all make the best of things and get through as best we can. I just wish I had a magic want sometimes. That virus would be gone for a start.

Enjoy your day. Lovely sunshine again. 🌞🌈💖😘
