Excerpts from Ajahn Brahm's book:
Often in depression we think: "It's not fair! Why me?" It would ease matters a little if life was more just, we think.
How often is it that we do a 'crime', some hurtful, spiteful act, and we are not made to suffer for it? Do we ever say, "It's not fair! Why wasn't I caught?
When we are made to suffer for no apparent reason, though, we moan, "It's not fair! Why me?" Perhaps it is fair. Perhaps there were so many other 'crimes' where we weren't caught that life is fair after all.
