Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff.

There are many things that can take us away from our state of happiness and just overall peacefulness with life.

But in today's episode, we're going to cover one of the most common things that really disrupts our happiness

And we both see it and experience it all the time

I remember one of the most vivid times I saw it was when I went to graduate school

in the East Coast and I was driving to New York City for the day.

I was approaching one of the tunnels that enters the island Manhattan, and there were tow booths

that you had to go through first before you could enter the island.

Well, on one of the entrances there was a taxi driver in another car buying for the same position

and they got closer and closer, started honking at each other, and finally they each got out of

their car and started a fist fight because they felt the other person was being

unfair.

I'm sure we all have stories like this, whether they're our own or others that we've seen. They may not be this intense, but they often are very regular

in our lives. And unfairness on so many levels has the potential to take away from our state of peace and happiness.

So in today's podcast, we're going to address the issue of unfairness and see how we can maintain our state of peacefulness and happiness even when life is being

unfair.

Well I think the first thing we have to ask ourselves when we're addressed with unfairness in life is to ask is this actually unfairness in life is to ask is this actually unfair?

Because a lot of times we're seeing things from a limited perspective and we're not aware that there's a lot of other factors

going on.

And what may seem unfair, in quotes, is actually not unfair.

And if we look at it from a broader perspective, stop and look and say,

what's actually going on here? I think a lot of times we relax.
