Ecclesiastes 7:15
15I have seen everything during my lifetime of futility; there is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness and there is a wicked man who prolongs his life in his wickedness.
Life ain’t fair, life ain’t gonna be fair, and no matter who we are, we can’t make it be fair. The sooner we accept this as fact, the happier we will be. Accept the lot and cross God has given you to bear and remain faithful. The thought of “That’s Not Fair!” is rife with the sins of covetousness, idolatry, and blasphemy.

That's a long fight that I've recently had to stop fighting. I spent so much time not understanding fairness that my attitude became jaded. I had to understand that God has the final say in all situations. All we can do is follow his commandments and keep plugging away and let the chips fall were they may.
