Suck it…

…or Life’s Not Fair!!!

Years ago, when I was working at Bullshit Boat Company and dealing with a mess of a procurement department, my father said to me, “You cannot buy an education this valuable.” As usual, he was absolutely right. The lessons I learned while working there were many. And priceless.

Today I started mentally running through a list of grievances in my head. Situations I find myself in through no fault of anyone but the cruel, ironic (or moronic) twist of fate. It really sucks having to navigate waters stirred by another party. Why should I feel compelled to justify myself for the sake of others? Why should I be the one stuck with the pooper-scooper, walking around, tidying up the mistakes of others? Why am I being held accountable for the actions of others?

Then I had an epiphany while gassing with a colleague a few moments ago. Life simply isn’t fair.

No matter what situation we’re in, there is going to be some asshat without visibility to the entire situation that’s going royally phuck up our worlds. It’s inadvertent, unintentional and it sucks. But, it’s life. It’s reality.

There are also instances where we find ourselves deliberately set-up to fail. Personally or professionally, this does happen. It is intentional. It is deliberate. It really sucks to know that there are some people out there who really want bad things to happen to you. And…I say…go ahead…take it personally, that’s entirely within your right. Bathe in it; just don’t prune in the bathwater.

Life isn’t fair. As a matter of fact, I think life is intentionally unfair. I think it’s a divine joke. Seriously!

If there is a G-d, his/her/its sense of humor is so dark, twisted and wicked, it makes me seem pure, decent and good hearted. The Divine being has to be either immensely twisted, spiteful or playful to inflict the crap dumped on us innocent, little lambs at times. Particularly when it comes to accountability and responsibility. Because, let’s face it, we’re always held accountable and/or responsible for shit we didn’t create.

A few days ago, someone on a forum asked, “What is the meaning/purpose of life?” I responded with, “80 + years of hell on earth followed by a restful dirt nap.”

I am completely serious.
