Life's Unfairness and Letting Go of Control
Life is full of unfairness and events that we can't control. We often feel entitled or think we deserve better treatment, but in reality, these notions are baseless. The fairness or unfairness of life is not determined by any universal judge. Instead of fixating on what we can't control, we should focus on what we can control, such as our responses, actions, and attitude towards difficult situations. While we can't control the outcome, we can increase the probability of a positive outcome by following advice, putting in the work, and choosing a helpful attitude. Letting go of control over what we can't control can reduce overall suffering.
