Remember way back at the beginning of this blog I mentioned not bothering with the "Why me?" I read a little something to that effect in a wonderful book called The Art of Happiness by the Dalai Lama.
"In our daily life, problems invariably arise. But problems themselves do not automatically cause suffering. If we can directly address our problem and focus our energies on finding a solution, for instance, the problem can be transformed into a challenge. If we throw into the mix, however, a feeling that our problem is 'unfair,' we add an additional ingredient that can become powerful fuel in creating mental unrest and emotional suffering. And now we not only have two problems instead of one, but that feeling of 'unfairness' distracts us, consumes us, and robs us of the energy needed to solve the original problem."
