TheGoq,
This is of course true but how do you deal with something that is inherently unfair and that you know will not change ? how do you make your peace with it ?
I wish I knew of a sure-bet answer, but it’s a challenge I face as well. I personally have a goal to increase my awareness that continuing to feel emotional pain regarding things that I cannot change does nothing to help – it only holds me back. And to therefore reframe my feelings that a situation is unfair to a sense that what others have done to me has no bearing on who I am or my value. And to assess what resources I do have while trying not to compare them with others, and then figure out how to make the best of them in service to Hashem. Easy for me to write, much harder for me to actually do!
