Why Life is always Fair

If you have more than one child then you will be intimate with the established and irrefutable hypothesis that 'It's not fair', whenever one child gets something that the other has not.

The tragic ending to this parable is: "So the eagle lived and died a chicken, for that's what he thought he was." - How many of us live as if we're the chickens? - How many of us listen to others when they tell us ...
