Udderly Unfair

I've noted a shift in farmers. Instead of making hamburgers, more and more are making cheese.

This is a good thing.

But it leads to a general unfairness for those born without udders. Which leads to a general point - there is unfairness in the world and it used to be we would deal with it.

Now I'm not talking about things that should be fair that aren't. Two people doing the same job at the same skill level at the same company living in the same region should be paid the same. With the laws currently in place, this can be fixed.

However, if someone is born rich and someone born poor, sure it''s not fair BUT the time we spend upset about it is useless. We have no right to try and "fix" it. DEAL with it.

Some people are born prettier, taller, funnier, or with bruises that look like continents on their heads. They may use these attributes toward success whereas you cannot. Don't be mad. Don't try and change them. DEAL with it. Change you.

Biblically, our business with others is never comparison. It is service. It is our own speech and actions we should change for good.

Don't let this season of politics get you angry with what others have. If your poor, hug a rich person. If your rich, hug a poor person (and slip him a $20) If you have udders, hug a steer.

And eat more cheese. It's good for you.
