Life is not fair...
It seems like you just don't know who to trust anymore. She says he said... and he says she said & neither story matches. So...what's a person to believe? How does one know the truth if neither side is being completely honest.
The other thing that really bugs me is when she says one thing to him about this other person & he says another thing to her about this other person but neither one says that to the other person. It's all done behind the other person's back & then what's actually said to this other person is not at all what was orginally said. Some people can be so inconsiderate & mean & ruthless & conniving & cruel. So...what's a person to do?
Today's gospel reading is a tough one to digest. Its the one about the workers who get hired at different times in the day, some working all day, some just a few hours & the others just an hour or so...but they ALL get paid the same amount.
Our priest made a comment in his homily today that if a company operated in this fashion, they probably wouldn't be in business very long. True, it would hurt the company if not financially, definitely in other ways. For one thing, I believe it would affect the employees' morale. Isn't it true that some people get paid to goof off & others work their butts off & get the same amount. Yeah! Yeah! Life is NOT fair. But still - it isn't right!
So...what's a person to do about it? Is it something we can control? Probably not. Like I said...this is a tough one!
