We all have different 'crosses to bare' in or individual situations. The question is what can we do with what we have been given. What is our attitude.
I'm of the attitude that if life gives you lemons you make lemonade. As I've meantioned before, I'm a victim of thalidomide, even though I have my limbs more or less intact I do have many other physical and health problems, but I don't let that stop me from making my life as comfortable as possible. I don't even see anything wrong in the continued use of thalidomide, because it is a wonder drug. You just don't give it to pregnant women.
The parables of Christ come to mind here. Read them again and you will get the distinct feeling Christ is trying to bring us to a maturity that stops comparing and claiming 'it isn't fair etc'. This is something I face in my life everyday even though I have been a Christian for many years.
Anyone who believes that life is suppose to be fair is a fool.
I don't blame anyone, or anything, for my condition in life. Life is what you make of it.
