if life is to be fair

If life is to be fair
we would live many times
so we could experience…
dying of cancer at age three
having our heart broken at fourteen
trying out a plethora of jobs
If we only have one life
then life is not fair at all
It would not be fair to have Alzheimer’s
when others never have it
