Feeling Alone In An Unfair World: My Fair Share By Seals And Croft




With all the hardships that we've been getting lately, it's no surprise if many of feel that life's unfair. This is especially true when you try as hard as you can and look far and wide only to come up empty-handed. When results like that keep happening, you wind up feeling alone. Most of us don't even ask for much, just something we can call our own is enough. When things get hard and you start feeling all alone, the song "My Fair Share" by Seals And Crofts comes to mind.

This song was on the soundtrack of the movie "One On One". Though it's more of a romance theme, it played during the scene's where Robbie Benson's character found that he was on the verge of being cut from the team which left him bewildered and frustrated. At that point in the movie, I bet he sure felt alone and confused. I could relate to that because there were times when I had my fair share of experiences where in I was in bad situation and there was no one there to turn to. At times like that, it sure feels like life is unfair.

Still, in the end, the good guy proved his worth and proved his oppressors wrong. It's a reminder to all of us that although life is unfair, that doesn't mean we can't make things happen. It's not going to be easy and you to really push yourself to the limit find that which you seek to make yourself whole. We all aren't asking for much; just that what is due to us. Just getting our fair share is good enough for us.
