"Life is unfair." Simple, but for me it was an important insight. I used to think I deserved things, and now I know that while that might be true, you still need to be assertive to get them. There is no karma or divine intervention which will put a finger on the balance to make sure everything in life (love, friends, opportunities, adventure) is shared equally. And it goes multiple ways. First, don't expect life to be fair and give you what you deserve. It won't. Don't expect other people to be fair towards you either. They might, and they might not. Second, it is not always your fault when you are in a bad situation, because life is in fact unfair. Shit happens. Third, be assertive to handle the unfairness. You need to stand up for yourself to get your fair share. And stand up for others to get theirs.
