The epitome of unfairness
Sex, 9 months of multiplying cells and a mother carrying a precious child, the birth, the growing and developing and maturing, and then he gets hit by a car in his early twenties. How is that fair? Something that took so long to create and shape and everything, and he dies in an instant. This principle can go for anything in life. It is always many more times difficult to create something than it is to destroy it. Something to beautiful can be taken down faster than the blink of an eye. It's just wrong. It's like things are meant to be chaotic. Creation is going against the universe. It takes work to build. And when it is, you are happy. Content. When it is destroyed, you are sad. It just seems like people are meant to be sad. It happens so easily and so often. And yet happiness is the thing that takes work. The thing that is harder to find. Maybe it's the work that you put into it that creates the happiness. Everything that comes out of it is just details. Or is it? Maybe happiness is a detail. Mere motivation to accomplish something greater. Is it your happiness or the product of the achievement of your happiness that matters more? During your process of doing something that you love, say, being a doctor and helping people, you do great things for the world. But the whole purpose you did it was because it made you happy. An example could be found in all walks of life. The motivation to be happy and not sad is what makes us build and cause great things to happen. The ease of destruction is just more motivation to keep it up because while doing that, you make more great things happen. Seems like we're on a cliff and we have to hold on for dear life or we'll fall. We want so bad not to fall that we dig footholds into the cliff. In doing so, we not only save ourselves from falling but we also make little spots for plants to grow that could cure cancer or something! Just trying to think of a good example everyone can relate to. In the end, maybe it's supposed to be unfair so we have more motivation to work toward the master plan.
