Have you ever thought that something in your life is just not fair? 

I know I have, and it’s not a good thing.

I think that most of us have some kind of fairness meter built into our psyche.

Truth is, though, it’s not a good way to go through life - worrying about what’s fair and what’s not - because it can send you into a tailspin. It can cultivate negative thinking. It can lead you to say some stupid and hurtful things to people.

For myself, I feel I can turn off the fairness meter, although it can come back on by itself, at which point I have to hit the breaker again.

I have found that the best way to turn it off is to look to others for inspiration.
