Disaster falls upon the just as well as the unjust. it is part of being Human and no it doesn't feel fair some times. However so long as i keep my eyes on My God and leave my life in My God's hands I am happier and am given peace.

Lynne Forrest has an interesting take on "unfaired against" in her book:
"Why Is Life So Unfair?"
The term “victimhood” as I use it, refers to a painful mental state of consciousness that originates from limiting beliefs we hold that cause unhappiness. Being a victim by this definition has little to do with our outside circumstances. It is a state of consciousness that is based on our perception of those circumstances. Victims, by this definition, perceive themselves as unfortunate, unlucky, and unfaired against; they see themselves as being at the mercy of an unfair world.
Victimhood is a state of consciousness shared by Persecutors. Rescuers and Victims alike – that's why we say that no matter where we are on the victim triangle, we are in a state of victimhood. When we are in the state of victimhood we think our misery/unhappiness is caused by external factors, by our conditions and life circumstances. We think we have no choice except to feel bad. We think our external conditions determine our happiness. This is the myth I am attempting to dispel.
It is not our external situation, nor the people in our lives, that determines whether we are victims.......
