Life Fair?

Often life is fare
But the opposite we say and acknowledge
Again and always life plays out
Already fashioned and designed
Saved and documented and filed
Yet each day seems new and fresh
Sometimes we are taken unawares
And then we claim insufficient understanding
We fail and blame life
We succeed we thank our star
When is life fare?
When we get all we desire
Or when others suffer on our behalf
Life is fare when we realise 
That up and down make a complete pair
