Fair Play

I've always been very concerned with everything having to be fair, ever since I was a little a kid. To feel comfortable and at peace, I need to know that people in my life put an equal amount of effort and energy into our relationships, I like to know that if I did something for someone I can count on them and expect the same treatment back... It's not because I like taking or like it more than giving, but because I was born with a fairness obsession. See, even I myself have no problem admitting it. It's not the easiest quality to live with, and maybe it's not something people should aspire for or value, but I'm thankful I have it, because at the end of the day, what matters is that I know my conscious is clear.

  1. A clear conscious is a very good thing! Amazing how some people have none.

  2. My dad told me this: "In everything you do, always ask this question... is it fair to all concerned?"

  4. Excellent. That's very important. It prevents you from tolerating things that many people tolerate but shouldn't. Thank you!
