All's Fair

It's odd how disturbing we can find even the most minor case of injustice, especially, frankly, pretty much exclusively, when we are on the receiving end thereof. Against all evidence to the contrary we somehow expect the universe to align itself to our cause. Life is unfair - a simple and obvious enough truth. Possibly it's especially hard to accept for those of us who're accustomed to life being more than fair in its rewards and blessings.

Of course, none of this is an excuse for not trying to make life fair - but I suspect this is only of any real worth when you are trying to make it fair for others. Something worth failing in.

(By the way, this is not a highfalutin way of suggesting that United should have two penalties last night against Barca. But they should have, anyway.)
